Phantom Of The Opera Phantom Of The Opera Lyrics
From the Play Christine:
In sleep he sang to me,
In dreams he came.
That voice which calls to me,
And speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find,
The Phantom of the Opera is here, I
nside my mind
Phantom: Sing once again with me,
Our strange duet.
My power over you,
Grows stronger yet.
And though you turn from me,
To glance behind.
The Phantom of the Opera is there,
Inside your mind.
Christine:
Those who have seen your face,
Draw back in fear.
I am the mask you wear.
Phantom: It's me they hear.
Both: my/your spirit and my/your voice,
In one combined.
The Phantom of the Opera is here/there
Inside your/my mind
Offstage:
He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera!
Beware, The Phantom of The Opera!
Phantom:
In all your fantasies
you always knew that
man and mystery
Christine: Were both in you
Both:
and in this labyrinth
where night is blind
the Phantom of the opera is there/here
inside your/my mind
Phantom:
Sing my Angel of Music
Christine:
He's there,
The Phantom of the Opera!
Phantom: Sing!
Phantom: Sing for me!
Phantom: Sing my angel of music!
Phantom: SING FOR ME!
MASQUERADE!!!
Masquerade! /Paper faces on parade/Masquerade! /Hide your face so the world will never find you/Masquerade! /Every face a different shade/Masquerade! /Look around, there's another mask behind you. Flash of mauve/Splash of puce/Fool and king/Ghoul and goose/Green and black/Queen and priest/Trace of rouge/Face of beast/Faces!/Take your turn, take a ride/On the merry-go-round/in an inhuman race/Eye of gold/True is false/Who is who?/Curl of lip/Swirl of gown/Ace of hearts/Face of clown/Faces!/Drink it in, drink it up/Till you've drowned/In the light/In the sound/But who can name the face?
Masquerade! /Grinning yellows, spinning reds/Masquerade! /Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you/Masquerade! /Burning glances, turning heads/Masquerade!/Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you/Masquerade!/Seething shadows breathing lies/Masquerade!/You can fool any friend who ever knew you/Masquerade!/Leering satyrs, peering eyes/Masquerade!/Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you.
The music of the night
Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation . . .
Darkness stirs andwakes imagination . . .
Silently the senses
abandon their defences . . .
Slowly, gently
night unfurls its splendour . . .
Grasp it, sense it
-tremulous and tender . . .
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light
-and listen tothe music of the night . . .
Close your eyes
and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts
of the lifeyou knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit
start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never
lived before . . .
Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you . . .
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you . . .
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight
-the darkness of
the music of the night . . .
Let your mindstart a journey through a
strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world
you knew before!
Let your soul
Take you where you
long to be !
Only then
can you belongto me . . .
Floating, falling,
sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me
savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give into
the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night . . .
