Stranger than you dreamt it
Can you even dare to look…
Or bear to think of me?
This loathsome gargoyle who burns in hell
But secretly yearns for heaven…
Secretly, secretly…
Oh, Christine…

Christine, I love you….

You alone can make my song take flight
It’s over now the Music of the Night!

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 there…. inside my mind

Your chains are still mine, you belong to me!

Take her, forget me,
Forget all of this…
Leave me alone, forget all you’ve seen…
Go now, don’t let them find you!
Take the boat, swear to me never to tell
The secret you know of the angel in hell!
Go now! GO NOW and leave me!

Pitiful creature of darkness,
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone…

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

This face, which earned a mother’s fear and loathing
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing
Pity comes too late
Turn around and face your fate
An eternity of THIS before your eyes…

I love you…

Flattering child you shall know me
See why in shadow I hide.
Look at your face in the mirror
I am there inside!
