Disclaimer: The Phantom continues to reside in the depths of L'Opéra Populaire. I own nothing of him or his heavenly voice.

Through the darkest shadows,

Haunted by the glimmer of the past-

Lay a pitiful soul,

Torn and ravaged-

Betrayed by society's ignorance.

Behind his mask lay the heavenly façade-

Yet the world saw nothing but scars.

In the catacombs beside the lake he dwelt,

Living a life of solitude.

As the Angel sang,

The night erupted with passion.

Beauty sprang from the deepest crevices.

His music mended the broken-hearted,

The innocents longing for affection.

He provided wings to the crippled,

And sewed the hearts that bled with ache.

His voice reflected the beauty within-

For the Phantom of the Opera is always at bay-

Echoing the sounds of a world above~*~*~*~*
