Music and Mask

Music and mask
My constant companions
I've had you both for as long as I can remember
Always a love - hate relationship

Music
My first true love
No matter how bad I felt you shared my pain
You never judged me on my mask
Every instrument I touched brought forth you glory
Music you will be with me forever
Always on my mind and in my heart

Mask
My first real hate
Source of hatred and shield from hatred
Hatred from most of the human race
All they saw was you never me
And one day because of you I was called Opera Ghost
No longer Erik, I became The Phantom of the Opera
