• Masquerade (The Phantom of the opera OST)

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 ghost ...
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, thigh of blue ...
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 and friend who ever knew you!
Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes ...
Masquerade! Run and hide - but a face will still pursue you!

Why so silent, good Messieurs?
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 around the stage
Our Don Juan must lose 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 excell
She has much still to learn
If pride will let her return to me, her teacher
Her teacher...

ДРУГАЯ ВЕРСИЯ! ДРУГАЯ ВЕРСИЯ(ПО ГОЛОСАМ)

FIRMIN
Dear Andrй,
what a splendid party!

ANDRЙ
The prologue
to a bright new year!

FIRMIN
Quite a night!
I'm impressed!

ANDRЙ
Well, one does
one's best...

ANDRЙ/FIRMIN
Here's to us!

FIRMIN
I must say,
all the same, that
it's a shame that 'Phantom'
fellow isn't here!

CHORUS
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...
Thigh of blue...
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...

RAOUL/CHRISTINE
But who can name the face...

ALL
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!

GIRY
What a night!

MEG
What a crowd!

ANDRЙ
Makes you glad!
