Devil Take The Hindmost

[Raoul:]
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!

[Phantom:]
Not afraid of me, you say?

[Raoul:]
Stay back, or I'll kill you I promise you!

[Phantom:]
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 the hindmost

[Raoul:]
Look at you,
Foul as sin, hideous, horrible
Call the stakes, deal me in
Devil take the hindmost.

[Phantom:]
Our Christine shall choose tonight

[Raoul:]Let her choose

[Phantom:]
Is she yours or mine?

[Raoul:]
Draw the line

[Phantom:]
If she sings, you lose tonight

[Raoul:]
I won't lose

[Phantom:]
You leave from here

[Raoul:]
Fine!

[Phantom:]
Disappear

[Raoul:]
Fine!
And if she won't, if I win?

[Phantom:]
All your debts, wiped away

[Raoul:]
Very well, let's begin

The Phantom and [Raoul:]Devil take the hindmost

[Raoul:]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

[Phantom:]
Our whole game, it's been changed
Every throw, riskier
All the rules, rearranged
Fate has re-designed most

[Raoul:]
Fortune's on my side
I won her long ago!
I won her from you then
I'll wager even now
I'll win her back again
And when the game is done

[Phantom:]
Cut the deck, let us play
Roll the die, once again
In the end
Either way!

Phantom and [Raoul:]
Devil take the hindmost!
Now Christine shall choose at last
Is she yours or mine?

[Raoul:]
We've a son, a bond secure

[Phantom:]
Are you sure?

[Raoul:]What?

[Phantom:]
Are you so sure?

[Raoul:]
What do you mean?

[Phantom:]
Such a child, strange to see
Different, musical

[Raoul:]Huh?

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

[Raoul:]
You lie!
I call your bluff, the game is on
And we will see, who wins out
Once and for all

[Phantom:]
Deal the cards, let them fall
Choose your hand, try your best
He who wins

Phantom and [Raoul:]
Wins it all!
Devil take the hindmost

[Raoul:]
I call your bluff, the game is on
And we will see, who wins out
Once and for all

[Phantom:]
Deal the cards, let them fall
Choose your hand, try your best
He who wins

Phantom and Raoul:
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:]
My god, what have I done? Look at me, the concert's only hours away...
