The Music Of The Night
(Version 2)
PHANTOM:
Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation ...
Darkness wakes and
stirs imagination ...
Silently the senses
abandon thier defences,
Helpless to resist the notes I write,
For I compose the music of the night.
Slowly, gently
night unfurls its splendour ...
Grasp it, sense it -
tremulous and tender ...
Hearing is believing,
Music is deceiving,
Hard as lightning, Soft as candlelight.
Dare you trust the music of the night ...
Close your eyes
For your eyes will only tell the truth,
And the truth isn't what you want to see.
In the dark,
It is easy to pretend...
That the truth is what it ought to be...
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 you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night.
Close your eyes,
start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes
And let music set you free!
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 ...
