Down Once More lyrics

The Phantom:

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!

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!

Mob (offstage):

Track down this murderer!

He must be found!

The Phantom:

Hounded out by everyone!

Met with hatred everywhere!

No kind word from anyone!

No compassion anywhere!

Christine, Christine ...

Why, why...?
