Wandering Child

歌詞

PHANTOM (very enticing) Wandering child, So lost... So helpless... Yearning for my guidance... (Bewildered, Christine looks up, and murmurs breathlessly) CHRISTINE Angel... or father... friend... or Phantom...? Who is it there, |staring...? | |PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic) \\Have you forgotten your Angel...? CHRISTINE Angel... oh, speak What endless longings Echo in this whisper...! PHANTOM Too long you've wandered in winter... Far from my fathering gaze... CHRISTINE Wildly my mind beats against you... PHANTOM You resist... PHANTOM/CHRISTINE Yet your/the soul obeys... |PHANTOM |Angel of Music! |You denied me, |Turning from true beauty! |Angel of Music! |Do not shun me... |Come to your strange |Angel... | |CHRISTINE |Angel of Music, |I denied you! |Turning from true beauty! |Angel of Music! |My protector... |Come to me, strange \\Angel... (Christine moves towards the figure of the Phantom) PHANTOM I am your Angel of Music... Come to me: Angel of Music.... RAOUL No, Christine, wait! Wait! CHRISTINE Raoul... RAOUL (in desperation) Whatever you may believe, this man... this thing... is not your father! (The Phantom jumps out and swings his sword. Raoul and the Phantom sword fight. The Phantom stabs Raoul in the arm. Raoul happens to pin the Phantom down. Before Raoul can stab him, Christine stops him and pulls him away) CHRISTINE No, Raoul! No! Not like this... (They look at the Phantom for a minute. Raoul puts away his sword, they get on his horse and ride off) PHANTOM (As they are exiting, The Phantom declaims in fury) Now let it be war upon you both!
