"Inspired by the Phantom" Step inside the golden doors a magic place that holds my soul pink rose petals are a velvet seat statues dance in the air above passion holds a tale of love a gavel sounds the dream begins a mirror to a world beyond the soft seduction of his song betrayal, anger, grief and shame and in my heart I speak his name notes to fear, the toad is free and yet he is not finished the laughter echoes all around and up into the starry night but shadows listen secretly a hand appears and he is there a broken heart again betrayed I share his pain and in my heart I speak his name down it falls his punishment six months pass a party now no merry scene for joy is placed uneasily and there he stands a top the stair his fiendish, death-like, blood-red wear he vanishes, magician's trick his orders are to be obeyed to the grave the violin calls her mournful song, his fireballs now the night, the trap, the hunt he shall never let them win the marksman fires he never listens the scent of gunpowder in the air but fate will play a different game the love song now his ancient lust her seducing innocence they play with fire, she and he a game where all may perish the hood is thrown the truth revealed a desperate plea to save his dream but she shows him to the world and together they must flee down, down again the candle world his bride tonight or her lover's life and then the kiss the sweetest thrill intoxicates his love-starved soul he cannot keep her, he knows that now and in my heart I speak his name she returns his cherished gift he speaks of what he feels she leaves again, forever now to the lacy veil he clings a memory of her and then to vanish once again never to be found he leaves his prison there behind the brilliant light upon it shines the all is dark and in my heart I speak his name the lights come up and I must leave my heart feels dead sorrow drained its very life and though I suffer share his pain here will I come many times again for he has claimed my heart and soul and through my bitter, salty tears I speak the words he longs to hear "I love you, Erik" |
