"Have you gorged yourself, at last, in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?"
Christine screamed at the Phantom terrified what he would do next. Christine was in a white wedding gown that the Phantom forced her to wear.

"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!"

"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!
Sir..."

"Gleb!"

"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!"

"Please Gleb, it's useless!"

"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..."

"Monsieur, I bid you welcome!
Did you think that I would harm her?
Why would I make her pay, for the sins which are yours?"

The Phantom comes behind Gleb and ties a rope around his neck.

"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!"

"Christine, forgive me, please forgive me
I did it all for you, and all for nothing
Say you love him
And my life is
​over
Either way you choose
He has to win
Why make her lie to you, to save me?
For pity's sake, Christine, say no!
Don't throw your life away for my sake!
I fought so hard to free you.."

"Farewell my fallen idol and false friend
We has such hopes, and how those hopes are shattered!
Angel of
Music...
Who
​deserves this?
Why
​do you curse
​mercy?"

"Too late for
​turning back
​Too late for prayers and useless pity!
All hope of cries for help
No point in fighting!
For either way you choose
You cannot win!
So, do you end your days with me
Or do you send him to his grave?
Past the point of
​no return
The final
​threshold
His life
​is now the prize which you must earn!
You've passed the point of
​no return..."

"Angel of Music! you deceived me!
I gave you my mind, blindly"

"You try my patience—make your choice!"
Christine looks at Gleb wanting and begging him to live. She loves Gleb and doesn't want him to be harmed. Gleb knows what she needs to do, he knows her plan."

"Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you
You are not alone"

Christine turned the Phantom to face her then kissed him as loving as she could. The Phantom was shocked by what she just did. Christine the pulls away and hugs him. The Phantom is still confused and his arms are to the side of Christine. Christine slowly raises her head from his shoulder and puts his arms on her waist the kisses him again. The Phantom slowly pushes her away know that she could never love him.

The Phantom slowly makes his way over to Gleb. He takes one last look at Christine then cuts the rope holding Gleb. Christine runs to Gleb hugging him and kissing him.

"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!"

Phantom listens to the musical box with the monkey and cymbals.

"Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face, so the world will never find you"

Christine walks over to him.

"Christine, I love you..."

Christine removes his ring and places it in his hand as she leaves.

"I love you!"
The Phantom says one last time to Christine.

"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..."
Christine sings to Gleb as they leave the Phantoms dreaded lair.

"You alone can make my song take flight—
It's over now, the music of the night!"
Christine hears him sing as they make their way out of the opera house and to Gleb's house.
