Masquerade / Why So Silent? (Live At The Royal Albert Hall/2011) - Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯)

Masquerade Paper faces on parade

Masquerade Hide your face so the world will never find you

Masquerade Every face a different shade

Masquerade Look around there's another mask behind you

Flash of mauve splash of puce

Fool and king ghoul and goose

Green and black queen and priest

Trace of rouge face of beast faces

Take your turn take a ride

On the merry-go-round in an inhuman race

Eye of gold true is false

Who is who

Curl of lip swirl of gown

Ace of hearts face of clown faces

Drink it in drink it up till you've drowned

In the light in the sound but who can name the face

Masquerade Grinning yellows spinning reds

Masquerade Take your fill let the spectacle astound you

Masquerade Burning glances turning heads

Masquerade Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you

Masquerade Seething shadows breathing lies

Masquerade You can fool any friend who ever knew you

Masquerade Leering satyrs peering eyes

Masquerade Run and hide but a face will still pursue you

What a night What a crowd

Makes you glad

Makes you proud

All the crème de la crème

Watching us watching them

All our fears are in the past

Three months of relief

Of delight of Elysian peace

And we can breathe at last

No more notes no more ghost

Here's a health here's a toast

To a prosperous year

To our friends who are here

And may the splendor never fade

What a blessed release

And what a masquerade

Think of it a secret engagement

Look your future bride just think of it

But why is it secret What have we to hide

You promised me no Raoul please don't they'll see

Well then let them see it's an engagement not a crime

Christine what are you afraid of

Let's not argue

(Let's not argue)

Please pretend

(I can only hope)

You will understand in time

(I'll understand in time)

Why so silent good monsieurs

Did you think that I had left you for good

Have you missed me good monsieurs

I have written you an opera

Here I bring the finished score Don Juan Triumphant

I advise you to comply my instructions sho uld be clear

Remember there are worse things than a shattered chandelier

Your chains are still mine You will sing for me

Madame Giry Madame Giry

Monsieur don't ask me - I know no more than anyone else

That's not true You've seen something haven't you

I don't know what I've seen Please monsieur don't ask me

Madame for all our sakes

Very well It was years ago There was a travelling fair in the city

Tumblers conjurors human oddities

Go on

And there was I shall never forget him: a man Iocked in a cage

In a cage

A prodigy monsieur Scholar architect musician

A composer

And an inventor too monsieur

They boasted he had once built for the Shah of Persia a maze of mirrors

Who was this man

A freak of nature more monster than man

Deformed

From birth it seemed

My God Christine

And then he went missing He escaped :

Go on

They never found him it was said he had died

But he didn't die did he

The world forgot him but I never can

For in this darkness I have seen him again

And so our Phantom's this man

I have said too much monsieur And there have been too many accidents

Accidents Madame Giry
