I really can't get this musical out of my head:
Christine: What tears I might have shed
for your dark fate.
Grow cold,
and turn to tears of HATE!
Christine: Raoul, I'm frightened
don't make me do this
Raoul, he scares me
don't put me through this ordeal by fire
He'll take me, I know
We'll be parted forever
He won't let me go.
What I once used to dream, I now dread
If he finds me it wont ever end
And he'll always be there
singing songs in my head
He'll always be there
singing songs in my head.
Carlotta: She's mad.
Raoul: You said yourself
he was nothing but a man
Yet while he lives
he will haunt us 'till we're dead
Christine: Twisted every way
what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life
to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man
who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey?
do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought
he murders all that's good
I know I can't refuse
and yet, I wish I could
Oh God, if I agree
What horrors wait for me
in this, the Phantoms opera.
Christine: Passing bells
and sculpted angels
cold and monumental
Seemed for you, the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle.
Too many years
fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again
knowing we must say goodbye
try to forgive
teach me to live
give me the strength to try.
No more memories
no more silent tears
no more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say goodbye.
Help me say goodbye.
The Phantom: That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood
has also denied me the joys of the flesh
this face, the infection
that poisons our love
This face, which earned
a mother's fear and loathing
A mask, my first
unfeeling scrap of clothing
Pity comes to late
turn around and face your fate
an eternity of this
before your eyes!
Christine: This haunted face, holds no horror for me now.
It's in your soul, that the true distortion lies.

I think I better stop or I'll be quoting every song from the musical. I just love it and can sing nearly every word from every song.
"And now for something completely different."
"Chandler and Monica! Chandler and Monica! Oh! My eyes! My eyes!"
