Have you gorged yourself
at last, in your
lust for blood?
Am I now to be
prey to your
lust for flesh?
Sara moved down the stairs, �Erik, there�s a mob coming!� She called, but neither him, nor Christine seemed to hear her.
That fate, which
condemns me
to wallow in blood
has also
denied me
the joys of the flesh ...
this face -
the infection
which poisons our love ...
This face,
which earned
a mother's fear
and loathing ...
A mask,
my first
unfeeling scrap
of clothing ...
Pity comes
too late -
turn around
and face your fate:
an eternity of this
before your eyes!
Sara moved away from where she was standing, she wasn�t really sure where she was until her knee bumped against the back of Erik�s bed. She quickly sank down on to it, silently listening to what was going on.
This haunted face
holds no horror
for me now ...
It's in your soul
that the true
distortion lies ...
Wait! I think, my dear,
we have a guest!
Raoul!
Sara didn�t know why she had just jumped to her feet, perhaps to keep Raoul from hurting Erik.
Sir, this is indeed
an unparalleled delight!
I had rather hoped
that you would come.
And now my wish comes true -
you have truly made my night!
Free her!
Do what you like
only free her!
Have you no pity?
Your lover makes
a passionate plea!
I love her!
Does that mean nothing?
I love her!
Show some compassion ...
The world showed no
compassion to me!
Christine ...
Christine ...Let me see her ...
Be my guest, sir...
Sara heard the sound of the grate at the front of Erik�s lair being raised, and said a silent prayer.
Monsieur, I
bid you welcome!
Did you think that
I would harm her?
Why should I make
her pay
for the sins which
are yours?
Order your fine horses now!
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now -
except perhaps Christine ...
Start a new life with me -
Buy his freedom with your love!
Refuse me, and you send your lover to his
death!
This is the choice -
This is the point of no return!
The tears I might have shed
for your dark fate
grow cold, and turn to tears
of hate...
Sara didn�t know what to do, she felt lost and helpless, and wanted desperately to help. However, she didn�t know who she wanted to help more. Erik was her best friend, and she loved him deeply, but Christine was also a dear friend.
Christine, forgive
me please forgive me ...
I did it all
for you, and all for
nothing ...
Farewell
my fallen idol
and false friend ...
One by one
I've watched
illusions shattered ...
Past all hope
of cries for help:
no point in fighting Either way
you choose,
he has to win ...
For either way
you choose,
you cannot win!
So, do you end
your days with me,
or do you send
him to his grave?
Why make her lie
to you, to save
me?
Angel of Music ...
Past the point
of no return -
For pity's sake,
Christine, say no!
... why this torment?
... the final threshold ...Don't throw your life
away for my sake ...
His life is now the prize
which you must earn!
I fought so hard
to free you ...
Angel of Music ...You've passed the point
of no return ...
... you deceived me -
I gave my mind
blindly ...
You try my patience -
make your choice!
Pitiful creature
of darkness ...
What kind of life
have you known...?
God give me courage
to show you
you are not
alone...
Sara began to curse whoever had decided to make her blind, wanting to see why everything had fallen silent. She heard Erik�s quiet sobs, and wanted to go to her friend.
Track down this murderer
He must be found
�Erik!� Sara called, making everyone turn. Christine and Raoul could not see her, and thought that they had imagined it.
Take her - forget me - forget all of this ...
Leave me alone - forget all you've seen ...
Go now - don't let them find you!
Take the boat
Swear to me never to tell
The secret you know,
Of the Angel in Hell
Go now, go now and leave me
Sara felt Erik brush past her and followed him. He sat on the bed and started up the musical box that sat beside his bed. Sara knelt beside him, and wrapped her arms around him. He placed a hand on hers, and when she pressed her cheek to his, she could feel his tears.
Masquerade ...
Paper faces on parade ...
Masquerade ...
Hide your face
so the world will
never find you ...
Christine, I love you...
�Take care of him Sara.� Christine whispered, before running down the stairs to Raoul.
Erik stood, and walked to where he could watch Christine and Raoul leave.
Say you'll share with
me, one
love, one lifetime ...
say the word
and I will follow you ...
Share each day with me ...
... each night ...
... each morning ...
Raoul glanced over his shoulder and was shocked to see Sara crossing the room to Erik. She grabbed his arm and turned him to face her, pressing her hand against the scarred side of his face. Erik�s eyes fluttered shut and he pressed his hand against hers.
�I love you.� She whispered.
More tears slipped out of Erik�s eyes, he knew now that he could let himself fall completely in love with the woman in front of him. And for the first time, he confidently pressed his lips to hers. Christine had given him the confidence to do what he had wanted to do for so long.
Erik turned back to the lake and saw Christine smiling at him, and Raoul nod.
You alone
can make my song take flight -
it's over now, the music of the night...
Sara jumped at the sound of glass shattering, and looked around confused. She relaxed when his hand enclosed hers and he led her away.
�Where do you think they�re going?� Raoul asked Christine as the boat bumped against dry land.
�I don�t know, but I hope I will see Sara again.� Christine muttered.
Police and cast members swarmed Christine and Raoul. �Where is he?� They all asked at once.
�I don�t know, he let us go, and he disappeared.�
They turned at the sound of splashing and saw Meg appear. �This was all I could find of him.� She said, holding up the white mask. �All the mirrors are shattered, he�s gone.�
Several officers pushed past her to search the lair more thoroughly, none of them bothered to check behind the large curtain, figuring it was just another mirror.
Outside the Opera house, Erik was helping Sara out of a passageway near the river. He pulled her into the shadows and hugged her tightly, before kissing her again, letting the force of his passion take over for a few moments, before pulling away again.
Sara sighed and rested her head on his chest, �What do we do now?� She asked.
�Simple, we live and be happy.� He said, kissing the top of her head before leading her off into the night.
