Disclaimer: I don't own POTO and I certainly don't own the music to 'The Music of the Night'. The very idea makes me laugh. And cry.
(Author's Note: You should really read this while listening to 'The Music of the Night', you'll get the idea better that way.)
The Music of my Life
Heartbreak sharpens
Subdues my worn sensations
Sadness grows
And threatens all defenses
Soon my own self-loathing
Is close to overflowing
Swiftly, softly, the voices start their whispering
Feel them, hear them, tempting and alluring
End it all, they say
Finally finish it today
Simply turn away and end this pain and strife
That has been the music of my life
Turn away and embrace the peace that dreams can bring
Turn away and let your heart begin to sing
Close your eyes and finally you will know no more
But I know that I've heard all the before
Slowly, painfully, I fight against the voices
Sense them, hear them, and all their sinful choices
I fight against the pain
Against the anger and disdain
But I know now that my mind is not so lithe
I can't fight against the music of my life
There must be something here that can finally soothe my endless fears
There must be something that can stop the endless tears
There must be a place where my soul can start to fly
But in the end, I know it's just a lie
Crying, dying, your name is all I'm chanting
Can't you see it's you that I've been wanting
At last you seem to see
What's been happening to me
Now that my blood has pooled next to a sharpened knife
It seems you've heard the music of my life
And years from now when you face death's bright scythe
Again you'll hear the music of my life
