The Music of the Night |
|
PHANTOM: |
|
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ... |
|
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ... |
|
Silently the senses abandon their defenses |
|
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour ... |
|
Grasp it, sense it, tremulou s and tender ... |
|
Turn your face away from the garish light of day, |
|
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light |
|
and listen to the music of the night ... |
|
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! |
|
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! |
|
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! |
|
And you'll live as you've never lived before... |
|
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you ... |
|
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you. |
|
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, |
|
in this darkness which y ou know you cannot fight -- |
|
the darkness of the music of the night ... |
|
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world! |
|
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! |
|
Let your soul take you where you long to be! |
|
Only then can you belong to me ... |
|
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! |
|
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation! |
|
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in |
|
to the power of the music that I write -- |
|
the power of the music of the night... |
|
You alone can make my song take flight - |
|
help me make the music of the night... |
