Lost and alone, a grieving child
An orphaned singer with a temperament mild
Heard a voice say not to worry
The distant voice of a childhood story
And young Christine, what she heard
Left the chorus girl quite perturbed
A strange voice inside her head
Of the father she'd long thought dead
Her Angel of Music speaks to her now!
Before him, prostrate and bow
He is her savior and her mentor
He is all she lives for now
"Journey downward, follow me!"
"I'll teach and protect you, trust in me!"
She took his hand, went through the mirror
The Phantom would train his love, his prodigy singer
Fear and pain overshadow love
Gaze now at the bleeding dove
And as she tore the mask away
She knew there'd be a price to pay
Among the graves, let it again begin
The mournful tune of a violin
A young man watches aghast
When will the tragedy end at last?
Look at the figure in the crimson cloak
His heart bleeds, though it's not yet been broke
The lovers hide against the wall
The Red Death makes the dominos fall
The children plan to run away
To marry and wake up on a new day
But the angel wails a demon cry
"If she doesn't love me, then he dies!"
The Swedish girl sings out her tune
The stage darkens; could it be her doom?
A mysterious man from the shadows emerges
And now poor Raoul must heed his urges
While wishing for troubles tamer
The Persian and boy fall to the torture chamber
Christine Daaé has 'til eleven rings
The Kyrie or a wedding march the Phantom will sing
Fearful for her lover's life
She the turns the scorpion to end the strife
She kisses him gently and the love it brings
Forces Erik to release his underground queen
And so they leave the angel to die
The three still tangled in a web of lies
And as young Raoul leaves with his bride
He hears through the air the phantom's sobbing goodbye
***I don't POTO. Well, that was a short disclaimer...***
