Why Have You Brought Me Here? / Raoul I’ve Been There Lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Patrick Wilson (Actor), Emmy Rossum, Gerard Butler

The Phantom of the Opera (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack / Deluxe Edition)

2004

[RAOUL]
Why have you brought me here?
[CHRISTINE]
I can't go back there
[RAOUL]
We must return
[CHRISTINE]
He'll kill you
His eyes will find us there
[RAOUL]
Christine, don't say that
[CHRISTINE]
Those eyes that burn
[RAOUL]
Don't even think it
[CHRISTINE]
If he has to kill a thousand men
[RAOUL]
Forget this waking nightmare
[CHRISTINE]
The Phantom of the Opera will kill and kill ​again
[RAOUL]
This Phantom is a fable
Believe me
There is no Phantom of the Opera
[CHRISTINE, RAOUL]
My God, who is ​this man (My God, who is ​this man)
Who hunts to kill? (This mask of death?)
I can't escape ​from him (Whose is this voice you hear)
I never will (With every breath?)
[CHRISTINE & RAOUL]
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
[CHRISTINE, RAOUL]
The Phantom of the Opera is here (The Phantom of the Opera is there)
Inside my mind (Inside your mind)
[RAOUL]
There is no Phantom of the Opera
[CHRISTINE]
Raoul, I've been there
To his world of unending night
To a world where the daylight dissolves into darkness
Darkness
Raoul, I've seen him
Can I ever forget that sight?
Can I ever escape from that face?
So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face
In that darkness
Darkness
But his voice filled my spirit
With a strange, sweet sound
In the night, there was music in my mind
And through music, my soul began to soar
And I heard as I'd never heard before
[RAOUL]
What you heard was a dream and nothing more
[CHRISTINE]
Yet in his eyes
All the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes
That both threaten and adore
[RAOUL]
Christine, Christine
[PHANTOM]
Christine
