Lyrics
Twisted Every Way
Twisted every way, what answer can I give?
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
Songwriters: Andrew Lloyd-Webber / Richard Stilgoe / Charles Hart
