A swift yank
And the deed is done
The victim hangs
His neck wrung
The shadow moves
To the midnight song
As the bell tower
'Gong's it's last gong
A lair hiding
A house underneath
And angel lives
Thinks himself a beast
Sets the trap
Lures the prey
Underwater
The body stays
The voice that haunts
Every waking soul
Starch white mask
Eyes black as coal
The curtains crash
Upon the stage
Falling, Falling
His eyes of rage
And yet his soul
His mind and voice
Live in isolation
Not by choice
He must escape
His prison of thought
But he is always shoved back
No matter the cost
He sits once again
To play the classic genre
He the music angel
Phantom of the Opera
