Phantoms Grace

Candle wax and sulfur burn
A mask of flesh, a lesson learned
The stage is set, the pit is deep
A silent vow I swore to keep
The angel sings behind the veil
I drag her down, I make her wail
This labyrinth of stone and chain
Is where I drown the world’s refrain

She hears the chord!
She feels the sting!
I am the voice!
The hand!
The king!

Beneath the opera, I am the grave!
The phantom’s grace, the soul I crave!
Sing for me, scream my name!
In the hollow earth, we burn the flame!
One final note to seal your fate!
The show is now... I animate!

The chandelier, a falling star
It crashes down on who you are
I twist the keys, I bend the steel
This poison melody is real
You hear my steps, you feel my breath
A waltz of misery and death
No savior comes to break the spell
I am the music... I am hell!

She hears the chord!
She feels the sting!
I am the voice!
The hand!
The king!

Beneath the opera, I am the grave!
The phantom’s grace, the soul I crave!
Sing for me, scream my name!
In the hollow earth, we burn the flame!
One final note to seal your fate!
The show is now... I animate!

HIDE!
YOUR!
EYES!
The mask is just a lie!
HEAR!
MY!
CRY!
Beneath the stone, we die!

Cast... the shadow...
Break... the bow...
There is no curtain call...
Only... the... afterglow...

Sing for me!
Sing for me...
In the dark...
