Devil takes the hindmost

yet another song from LND =]

R: Miss Giry, I'm not afraid of him. I've bested him before and if he ever had the courage to meet me face to face, man to
man...
No, no it can't be.

P: Not afraid of me, you say?

R: Stay back or I'll kill you, I promise you!

P: Of course. As you say, you've beaten me before, but that was a long time ago, Vicomte. And we were playing a different
game.

Look at you, deep in debt
Stinking drunk - pitiful
Shall we two make a bet?
Devil take he hindmost

R: Look at you, foul as sin
Hideous - horrible
Call the stakes, deal me in
Devil take the hindmost

P: Our Christine shall choose tonight

R: Let her choose

P: Is she yours or mine?

R: Draw the line

P: If she sings you lose tonight

R: I won't lose

P: You leave from here

R: Fine!

P: Disappear

R: Fine! And if she won't, if I win

P: All your debts wiped away

R: Very well, let's begin

Both: Devil take the hindmost

(simultaneously)

R: You think you have the odds

You think you're in control

You think you've fixed the dice

Well I will gladly roll

I'll bet against the house

I'll even double down

P: Our game, it's been changed

Evey throw risking her

All the rules rearranged

Fate has redesigned those

R: Fortune's on my side

I won her long ago, I won her from you then

I beat you even now, I'll win her back again

P: Cut the deck, let us play

Roll your die once again

R: And when the game is done!

P: Either way!

Both: Devil take the hindmost

Now Christine shall choose at last

Is she yours or mine?

R: We've a son - our bond's secure

P: Are you sure?

R: What?

P: Are you so sure?

R: What do you mean?

P: Such a child, strange to see
Different, musical

R: Huh?

P: Is he more you or me?
Which one do you find most?

R: You lie.

(simultaneously)

P: Deal the cards, let them fall

Choose your hand, try your best

He who wins, wins it all

R: I call your bluff - the game is on

And we will see who wins

He who runs it out wins it all

Both: Devil take he hindmost

P: Deal the cards, let them fall

Choose your hand, try your best

He who wins wins it all

R: I call your bluff - the game is on

And we will see who wins out

He who runs it out wins it all

Both: Devil take the hindmost!

P: She walks, you leave together

Pockets full

Debts paid.

She sings - you leave alone.

Devil take the hindmost.

R: Oh, God. What have I done? Look at me - the concert's only hours away.

I love knowing they finally gave a duet between Raoul and Phantom! And Phantom still rules! I love the ending, when Phantom sings the last line of "Devil Take the Hindmost" in the haunting voice. I melt. I'll run away with Phantom!

[majikstar]

Yes he is! Wonderfull isn't he?

[BooBop1987]

From all the song that I heard from Love Never Dies! Devil take the Hindmost is truly the most darkest song that I ever heard. But it very good!

[cubanita1101]

Actually.. hehe' if you watch the final part of the play and put some pieces together , you'll realize, and find out that Christine actually always loved the phantom, and he ALWAYS had her heart.. but only ONE reason why she didn't run off w. him , plus -SPOILER- and hint, Raoul isn't Gustave's father.. :D

[StarDust0293]

This is great here, but I've heard some live versions. The Phantom laughs at him while he mocks him, and they fight a bit. I think they also changed the lyrics up a bit, on the part concerning Gustave. And the laughing, so wonderfully devilish.
