Devil Take the Hindmost (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

[RAOUL (spoken):]
No, no, it can't be!

[PHANTOM (spoken):]
Not afraid of me, you say?

[RAOUL (spoken):]
Stay back or I'll kill you, I promise you!

[PHANTOM (spoken):]
Insolent boy! You think own more of her soul than I do?

[RAOUL (spoken):]
She is my wife! Your music may speak to her, but her heart will always follow me.

[PHANTOM (spoken):]
You think so? You really think so? Follow you with all your charms?

[PHANTOM:]
Look at you, deep in debt
Stinking drunk, pitiful
Shall we two make a bet?
Devil take the hindmost

[RAOUL:]
Look at you, foul as sin
Hideous, horrible
Call the stakes, deal me in
Devil take the hindmost

[PHANTOM/(RAOUL [spoken]):]
Our Christine shall choose tonight
(Let her choose!)
Is she yours or mine?
(Draw the line)
If she sings, you lose tonight
(I won't lose)

[PHANTOM:]
You lеave from here

[RAOUL (spoken):]
Finе!

PHANTOM:
Disappear

RAOUL (spoken):
Fine!
(sung)
And if she won't?
If I win?

[PHANTOM:]
All your debts wiped away

[RAOUL:]
Very well, let's begin

[BOTH:]
Devil take the hindmost

[PHANTOM/(RAOUL):]
(You think you have the odds)
Our old game
(You think you're in control)
It's been changed

(You think you've fixed the dice)
Every throw
(Well, I will gladly roll)
Riskier

(I'll bet against the house)
All the rules
(I'll even double down)
Rearranged
Fate has redesigned most

(Fortune's on my side, I won her long ago)
Cut the deck
(I won her from you then)
Let us play

(I'll beat you even now)
You and I
(I'll win her back again)
Once again

In the end
(And when the game is done)
Either way

[BOTH:]
Devil take the hindmost
Now Christine shall choose at last
Is she yours or mine?

[RAOUL:]
We've a son, our bond's secure

[PHANTOM:]
Are you sure?

[RAOUL (spoken):]
What?

[PHANTOM:]
Are you so sure?

[RAOUL (spoken):]
What do you mean?

[PHANTOM:]
Such a child, strange to see
Talented, musical

[RAOUL (spoken):]
Huh?

[PHANTOM:]
Is he more you or me?
Which one do you find most?

[RAOUL (spoken):]
You lie!

[PHANTOM/(RAOUL):]
Deal the cards
(I call your bluff)
Let them fall
(The game is on)

Choose your hand
(And we will see)
Try your best
(Who wins out)

He who wins
(Once and for all)

[BOTH:]
Wins it all
Devil take the hindmost

[PHANTOM/(RAOUL):]
Deal the cards!
(I call your bluff)
Let them fall
(The game is on)

Choose your hand
(And we will see)
Try your best
(Who wins out)

He who wins
(Once and for all)

[BOTH:]
Wins it all
Devil take the hindmost

[PHANTOM:]
(She walks, you leave together. Pockets full, debts paid. She sings... You leave alone.)
Devil take the hindmost

[RAOUL (spoken):]
My God. What have I done? I could lose her forever. My Christine!
