Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live? Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice? Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice? He kills without a thought. He murders all that's good I know I can't refuse And yet, I wish I could Oh God, if I agree What horrors wait for me In this, the Phantom's opera? RAOUL: Christine, Christine, don't think that I don't care But every hope, and every prayer rests on you now So, it is to be war between us! But this time, clever friend, the disaster will be yours! "Rehersal" REYER: Don Juan—Signor Piangi—here is the phrase: "Those who tangle with Don Juan..." If you please? PIANGI: Those who tangle with Don Juan REYER: No, no.
