Down Once More

Down Once More is a song from Phantom of the Opera.

Lyrics

Down once more to the dungeons Of my black despair!Down we plunge to the prison Of my mind.Down that path into darkness Deep as hell!

Why, you ask, was I bound and chained In this cold and dismal place?Not for any mortal sin But the wickedness of my abhorrent face!

Hounded out by everyone!Met with hatred everywhere!No kind words from anyone!No compassion anywhere!Christine, why? Why?
