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
