Masquerade/Why So Silent
Monsieur Andre!
Monsieur Firmin!
Dear Andre, what a splendid party!
The prelude to a bright new year.
Quite a night, I'm impressed.
Well, one does one's best.
Here's to us!
A toast for the city!
What a pity that the Phantom can't be here!
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 creme, De la creme
Watching us.
Watching them
All our fears are in the past
Three months

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 a secret? What have we to hide? You promised me.
No, Raoul, please don't let them see!
Well 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)
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!
Masquerade! Burning glances, turning heads, Masquerade! Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
Masquerade! Grinning yellows, Spinning reds, Masquerade! Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you.
Why so silent, good Monsieurs? Did you think that I had left you for good? Have you missed me, good Messieurs? I have written you an opera. Here, I bring the finished score. Don Juan Triumphant! Fondest greetings to you all, A few instructions just before rehearsal starts. Carlotta must be taught to act. Not her normal trick of strutting round the stage. Our Don Juan must lose some weight. It's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age. And my managers must learn, that their place is in an office, Not the arts. As for our star, Miss Christine Daae...
No doubt she'll do her best It's true, her voice is good She knows, though, should she wish to excel, she has much still to learn If pride will let her return to me, her teacher her teacher...
Your chains are still mine, You belong to me!
