Wandering Child / Bravo, Monsieur

"The Phantom Of The Opera" Original London Cast

Lyrics
Wandering child, so lost, so helpless
Yearning for my guidance

Angel or father, friend or phantom
Who is it there, staring?

I have forgotten your name

Angel, oh, speak, what endless longings
Echo in this whisper?

Too long you've wandered in winter

Once again she is his

Far from my far-reaching gaze

Once again she returns

What in my mind bids against you?

You resist, yet your soul abets

Let your soul be led

The answer for her

Angel of music, still he calls her love

Angel of music, when you're dying, will you

Angel of music, still he calls her love

Turn him from cruelty?

Bring her back from the grave

Angel of music, take her side, please

Angel of music, you're a phantom, come to me

Angel of music, take her side, please

Come to me, strange angel

I am your angel of music
Come to me, angel of music

Angel of darkness, cease this torment!

I am your angel of music
Come to me, angel of music

Christine, Christine, listen to me. Whatever you may
Believe, this man, this thing, is not your father
Let her go, for God's sake. Let her go, Christine!

Oh, Rob!

Bravo, Monsieur, such spirited words!

More tricks, Monsieur!

Let's see, Monsieur, how far you dare go!

More deception, more violence!

Rob, no!

That's right, that's right, Monsieur! Keep walking this way!

You can't win her love by making her your prisoner!

Rob, no!

You stay back!

I'm here, I'm here, Monsieur, the angel of death!
Come on, come on, Monsieur, don't stop, don't stop!

Rob, come back!

Don't go! So be it. Now let it be war upon you both!

Hear the psalmist, serve the lamb
Hear the master, take his plea
Hear the sacrificial lamb
Outward from despairing flee
For your Eden, for the thrill
Of your tongue lost on the streets
You will have to pay the bill
Tangled in the winding sheets
Serve the meal and serve the maid
Serve the master so that we
Save the plan and pay the maid
Death won't try us once again

Paserino, faithful friend
Once again recite the plan

You against me, thieves? I'm you
I the master, you the man

When you left, you wore my cloak
With my scarf you hid your face
She believes she dines with me
In her master's hollow place
Furtively we'll scuff and fawn
Stealing what in truth is mine
When it's late, her modesty
Starts to mellow with the wine

You come home, I use your voice
Slam the door like crackled goose

I shall say, "Come hide with me"
Where, oh where? Of course, my room

What he has and what a charm
Here's my hat, my cloak and sword
Conquest is assured
If I do not forget myself and love

No thoughts within her head
But thoughts of joy
No dreams within her heart
But dreams of love

Master

Paserino, go away
For the trap is set
And waits for its prey
You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish
Which till now has been silent, silent
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind you've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me
No second thoughts, you've decided, decided
