THE LABYRINTH UNDERGROUND

(Meanwhile, down below, we see the PHANTOM and

CHRISTINE in the boat, crossing the underground

lake)

PHANTOM (furiously propelling the boat onwards)

Down once more

to the dungeon

of my black despair!

Down we plunge

to the prison

of my mind!

Down that path

into darkness

deep as hell!

(He rounds on her, bitterly)

Why, you ask,

was I bound and chained

in this cold and dismal place?

Not for any

mortal sin, but the

wickedness of

my abhorrent face
