This poem is about Erik's conscience breaking through the madness that is
threatening to tear him apart right before he lets Christine and Raoul go.

An Angel Again

You knew only one love
One love to last you a lifetime
You knew hatred also
Enough hatred to last one hundred lifetimes

Don't let the hatred bring you down
You are better than that
Just remember the love
The way you felt before the heartache

You were an angel once
But you acted like a monster
You have blood on your hands
And a mask on your face

But you can be an angel again
If only you let them go
Let her have a normal life with a normal husband
And you will be her angel again

Don't let the hatred poison her life as well
Don't let the darkness steal her spirit
Like it stole yours
Be her angel again and let her go

Let go off all the pain and hatred
Let her know how much you love her
By giving her one last precious gift
Let her have her freedom and let her go

And be an angel once more
