Title

My Comments

Take me down

Take me down, to the underground
Won’t you take me down, To the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can’t sleep, can you hold my life
And all I see is you
Take my hand, I lost where I began
In my heart I know all of my faults
Will you help me understand
And I believe in you
You’re the other half of me
Soothe and heal....
When you sleep, when you dream, I’ll be there if you need
Me, whenever I hear you sing....
There is a sun, it’ll come, the sun, I hear then call me down
I held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun
And you’re all I see....
And the trumpets blew, and the angels flew on the other side
And you’re all I see, and you’re all I’ll need
There’s a love that God puts in your heart.

When I first heard this song I Thought of Phantom. It seems to me the song almost was mint to be about him or some one like him. The hole under ground and whenever I hear you sing kind of tips it off.

Thirty-three

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humor me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you.

Even though this song is a little off, the music and the way it is sung makes me think of Phantom. If you don't see the connection, may be I'm just crazy (=
The connections I see are The cellar Lon Chaney's Phantom always had a collar up. The Graceful swans, maniacal swans were mentioned in Susan Kay's version.

In the arms of sleep

Sleep will not come to this tired body now
Peace will not come to this lonely heart
There are some things I live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
I need you tonite
I steal a kiss form her sleeping shadow moves
Cause I’ll always miss her wherever she goes
And I’ll always need her more then she could ever need me
I need some one to ease my mind
But sometimes a someone is so hard to find
And I’ll do anything to keep her here tonite
Cause I want you to stay, with me
I need you tonite
She comes to me like an angel out of time
As I play the part of a saint on my knees
There are some things I live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now

Suffer my desire

Suffer my desire for you

This song reminds me of Gaston's and a little bit of Susan Kay's version of Phantom. I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow... reminds me of Susan Kay's version where Phantom was watching Christine as she slept. The words like a saint on my knees reminds me particularly of Gaston's Phantom kneeling down to kiss the hem of Christine's dress and the line before hopefully needs no explanation if so perhaps you are on the wrong site. (= This by the way is one of my favorite songs. If you haven't gotten a chance to hear it I suggest you do. It's very beautiful.

"Adore"
(Album)

Crestfallen

Who am I to need you when I'm down?
Where are you when I need you around?
Your life is not your own
And all I ask you
Is for another chance
Another way around you
To live by circumstance, once again
Who am I to need you now?
To ask you why, to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
And you may go, but I know you won't leave
Too many years built into memories
Your life is not your own
Who am I to need you now?
To ask you why, to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
Who am I to you?
Along the way
I lost my faith
And as you were, you'll be again
To mold like clay, to break like dirt
To tear me up in your sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I?

This song hit a very sensitive cored in my heart. This is quite possibly my most favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. This song speaks of how much Phantom loves Christine but how deep down he knows that she was never mint to be his.

Behold! The Nightmare

I faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
Appease you
The wind blows, and I know
I can't go on
Digging roses from your grave
To linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You'll find me
The coarse tide reflects sky
And the night mare rides on
And the night mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the night mare rides on
Where I fear is lost here
The wind blows, and I know
All you have to do is run away
And steal yourself from me
Become a mystery to gaze into
You're so cruel in all you do
But still I believe, I believe in you
So may you come with your own knives
You'll never take me alive
With all the force of what is true
Is there nothing I can do?
I can't go on
Digging roses from your grave
To linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You'll find me
And the night mare rides on
And the night mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the night mare rides on
I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the flower I can't keep

Even this song is not completely Phantom like it has hint here and there.

Once Upon A Time

Mother, I'm tired
Come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave, but still I go
Falling with the leaves
Falling out of sleep
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?

Mother, I've tried
Wasting my life
I haven't given up, I lie
To make you so proud in my eyes
Falling out of sleep
Crawling over me
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?

Tuesday's come and gone
Restless, still I drive
Try to leave it all behind
Falling, falling out of sleep
Falling, falling with the leaves
I go crawling, crawling over me

Once upon a time in my life
Once upon a time in my life
Once upon a time in my life
Once upon a time in my life
I went falling
I went falling

Mother, I hope you know
That I miss you so
Time has ravaged on my soul
To wipe a mother's tears grown cold

This song reminds me of Susan Kay's Phantom when he was a child and then when he returns and she is dead.

Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams -
Feel

Come on hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
Not sure I understand,
This role I�ve been given.

I sit and talk to god
And he just laughs at my plans,
My head speaks a language, I don�t understand.

(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
�cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

I don�t wanna die,
But I ain�t keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I�m preparing to leave her.
I scare myself to death,
That�s why I keep on running.
Before I�ve arrived, I can see myself coming.

(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
�cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

And I need to feel, real love
And a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.

(instrumental)

(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in,
I got too much love,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

I just wanna feel real love,
In a life ever after
There�s a hole in my soul,
You can see it in my face, it�s a real big place.

(instrumental)

Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living,
Not sure I understand,
This role I�ve been given

Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.

The Song is sad and a desperate Cry for Love.
CDaae

Used Blue And Yellow

Blue And Yellow
and it's all in how you mix the two
and it starts just where the light exists
it's a feeling that you cannot miss
and it burns a hole
through everyone that feels it

well your never gonna find it
if your looking for it
won't come your way
well you'll never find it
if your looking for it

should've done something but I've done it enough
by the way your hands were shaking
rather waste some time with you

should've said something but I've said it enough
by the way my words were faded
rather waste some time with you

and you never would have though in the end
how amazing it feels just to live again
it's a feeling that you cannot miss
it burns a hole through everyone that feels it

should've said something but I've said it enough
by the way my words were faded
rather waste some time with you

This song reminds me of Erik telling Christine what he sees in her and how he feels.

Alice Cooper

"Monster Dog "

(Movie)

See Me In The Mirror

See me in the mirror if you want to See me in the mirror if you really want to Maybe not too clear, but the face you'll see is mine Do you feel my eyes burning through you Do you feel the burn when my eyes see through you Do you see my eyes when they burn into your mind I can feel the teardrops hit the ground where I'm layed I can feel you breathing while I sleep through the day See you in a vision in the dark with no light? Your soul may go to heaven, but your heart's mine tonight

Do you feel my skin when you touch me Do you feel my skin when you reach and touch me Cold and blue and thin but it's still somehow alive And you can feel my blood running through you You can feel the rush of my blood run through you You can feel the gush when my blood runs up your spine And I can feel the teardrops hit the ground where I'm layed I can feel you breathing while I sleep through the day See you in a vision in the dark with no light? Your soul may go to heaven, but your heart's mine tonight

See me in your mirror if you want to See me in the mirror if you really want to Maybe not too clear, but the face you'll see is mine See me in the mirror, mirror, mirror See me in the mirror, mirror See me in the mirror, mirror See me in the mirror, mirror See me in the mirror, mirror, mirror

I found this Song quite by accident, which is funny considering it's a rare
Cooper song. This is my favorite Song and no one can
tell me this song is not about Phantom and Christine.

"Constrictor"

The Man Behind the Mask

You're with your baby And you're parked alone On a summer night You're deep in love But you're deeper in the woods You think you're doin' alright

Did you hear that voice Did you see that face Or was it just a dream This can't be real That only happens, babe On the movie screen

Oh, but he's back He's the man behind the mask And he's out of control He's back The man behind the mask And he crawled out of his hole

You're swimmin' with your girl Out on lovers' lake And the wind blows cold It chills your bones But you're still on the make That's a bad mistake

But the moon was full And you had a chance To be all alone But you're not alone This is your last dance And your last romance

Yeah, cause he's back He's the man behind the mask And he's out of control He's back The man behind the mask And he crawled out of his hole

Oh, if you see him comin' Get away if you can Just keep on runnin' Run as fast as you can He's a dangerous, dangerous man

And he's out tonight And he's watchin' you And he knows your house No, don't turn out the lights

Yeah, cause he's back He's the man behind the mask And he's out of control He's back The man behind the mask And he's after your soul

He's back He's the man behind the mask And he's out of control He's back The man behind the mask And he's after your soul

Roses On White Lace

I saw you in your wedding gown The prettiest dress I came into the room that night And made such a mess In my own way, I lovingly kiss the bride With your ring in your hand Your eyes and your mouth open wide In my eyes Blood drops look like roses on white lace They won't wash away In my mind they're roses on white lace Straight from the heart So dead upon the bed You hurt me in the deepest way I'm crippled inside I took your evil skin away It's all cut and dried I saw you tonight and carefully took your hand With some smears on my cheeks I knew that you would understand In my eyes Blood drops look like roses on white lace They won't wash away In my mind they're roses on white lace Straight from the heart So dead upon the bed, still searching for your head They're never gonna find your face It's hidden away I found a very special place where you used to play In my own way, I lovingly kiss the bride With your ring in your hand Your eyes and your mouth open wide In my eyes Blood drops look like roses on white lace They won't wash away In my mind they're roses on white lace Straight from the heart Blood drops look like roses on white lace Crimson and sweet, stained on the sheet Roses on white lace, pretty in red, dripping and wet Roses on white lace, spilled on the walls, dark in the hall

Hell is Living Without You

I can't find your face in a thousand masqueraders You're hidden in the colors of a million other lost charaders In life's big parade I'm the loneliest spectator Cuz you're gone without a trace in a sea of faceless imitators I can't take another night Burning inside this Hell is living without your love Ain't nothin' without your Touch me Heaven would be like hell Is living without you Try to walk away When I see the time I've wasted Starving at a feast And all this wine I've never tasted On my lips your memory has been stained Is it all in vain Tell me who's to blame I can't take another night Burning inside this Hell is living without your love Ain't nothin' without your Touch me Heaven would be like hell Is living without you Nights get longer and colder I'm down and begging to hold ya On my own and I feel like hell Is living without you Hell is living without your love Ain't nothin' without your Touch me Heaven would be like hell Is living without you Nights get longer and colder I'm down and begging to hold ya On my own and I feel like hell Is living without you

GREEN DAY

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

Jesus Christ Superstar

(Mary Magdalene)

I don't know how to love him

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days
When I've seen myself
I seem like someone else

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man
He's just a man
And I've had so many
Men before
In very many ways
He's just one more

Should I bring him down
Should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one
Who's always been
So calm so cool
No lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so

I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Yet
If he said he loved me
I'd be lost
I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope
Just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head
I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

Metallica

Ride The Lightning

Fade To Black

Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me
Deadly loss this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now, he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
Goodbye

This song reminds me of Erik in Susan Kay's book when he was contemplating suicide

London After midnight

Selected Scenes from the End of the World

This Paradise

I could take your breath away,
I could make this feel so right-
out of the blackest shadows
into your burning light-
your touch would enthrall my heart,
my touch could release your soul-
lying warm and dark in your arms,
come close to me now and take control-
riding through endless nights,
bury the nameless dead-
the stars will rain down in the night
cast out of Heaven by jealous angels of death-
together we'll rule our world-
together we'll rule theirs too-
lightning and thunder collide at the edge of the world
for me and you-
In this Paradise you'll find just what your looking for,
beauty right before your eyes,
how could you ask for more-
Here behind these eyes, here inside my soul-
hear the screams of a crucifixion ring through the dark,
ring through the cold-
reach up and pull me down into your hallowed ground-
I'll lead you into temptation,
buried in passion I'll lead you down...

Spider and the Fly

Empty hearts I can hear them talking-
I close my eyes and I keep on stalking my love-
my love-
no one's aware of the hunger I feel-
it's something you or time cannot heal-
I need someone to help me rise above-
Eternal bliss is something I can show you-
spread your arms and let my wings enfold you, my love-my love-
In the darkness shades of crimson rapture-
the world is ours alone to capture my love-
Come over here and let me tell you something-
nothing ever comes of nothing-
we pay a price for all our choices made-
come along now and take my hand-
I'll lead you to a promised land-
the morning after may never be the same,
it may never come again...

Sacrifice

And here we go again
We've taken it to the end
With every waking moment
We face this silent torment

I'd sacrifice
Sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you

Darkness is all I want to see
I could never put in to word
What it is you mean to me

I'd sacrifice
Sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
Because you know that I love you

The candle is burning lower
At the window to my soul
The reaper is at my door now
He's come to take me home...

I'd sacrifice
Sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
cause you know that I love you

Sacrifice

I'd sacrifice
Sacrifice myself to you
Right here tonight
cause you know that I love you

I..........I........ I'd sacrifice
I'd sacrifice
I'd sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice

myself to you
Right here tonight
cause you know that I love you
I'd sacrifice
I'd sacrifice
I'd sacrifice
I'd sacrifice

Fade

I try to breathe Memories overtaking me I try to face them but The thought is too much to conceive I only know that I can change Everything else just stays the same So now I step out of the darkness that my life became 'cause I just needed someone to talk to You were just to busy with yourself You were never there for me To express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made So where were you? When all this I was going through You never took the time To ask me just what you could do I only know that I can change Everything else just stays the same So now I step out of the darkness that my life became 'cause I just needed someone to talk to You were just to busy with yourself You were never there for me To express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made I never meant to fade... Away I NEVER MEANT TO FADE I just needed someone to talk to You were just to busy with yourself You were never there for me To express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made I try to breathe...

Change

If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside but
Have so much that I could feel some
pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

I try and try to break away from all the hate
I'm feeling for every one of you that's ever
done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
for the way I'm living. I guess I can't 'cause
I don't feel like I deserve it

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
the shame I feel. Forgive me.

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within me.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.
AGAIN!

Epiphany

Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the thing's I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause i don't take anymore
or this, I want to come apart.
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious heart

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
though I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

Outside

And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
But I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
Was for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It's from you
All the times
That I've tried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Myself I'll kill if I can't have you no one will

Ghost Of Freedom Lyrics

Every time you think about it
It tears you up inside
You curse the day your mother
told you, your father died
Now you're always searching
Searching for the reason why I've gone
But I will always be here
By your side, through the darkest night

Here I'll stand on the firing line
Here I'll walk through the field where I died
I will fight and let the voice ring true
I am the ghost
Standing next to you

Every night you go to sleep
You pray the Lord my soul to keep
You don't know I've not gone away
You see I watch over fighting men
So they can have peace again
And maybe someday you will all be free

Here I'll stand on the firing line
Here I'll walk through the field where I died
I will fight and let the voice ring true
I am the ghost
Standing next to you

You speak to me
And I feel your pride
Assuring me I'll never die
I write Mother...
"He's here with me..."
He's in our minds
He's in our souls
Of sacrifice his story's told
He holds the flame of freedom for all to see

Here we stand on the firing line
Here I'll walk in the field where I fight
I will fight of die for liberty
With the ghost standing next to me

Don't tread on me...live free or die!!!
To our fallen brothers
You died to keep us free
To our fallen brothers
Who gave us liberty!!!

IRON MAIDEN

Phantom of the Opera

I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.

You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerizing cat call.

Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.

I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.

Return Of The Phantom Stranger

Shape shifting high
and a haunted eye.
Falling plastic and paper demons!
No trace of time,
I'm branded sly,
I am your ghostmaster baby free me.

All you know,
is alone,
you see a,
Phantom Stranger!
Down you go,
all alone,
you love my,
Phantom Stranger

My sinister sounds
Sweep the grounds
Still-born I Lie beneath it
I throw it away
the freaks all stay
Deformed and laughing screaming!

All you know,
is alone,
you see a,
Phantom Stranger!
Down you go,
all alone,
you love my,
Phantom Stranger!

A wretched heart
in the dark decay,
dominate forever...
Destroy the things you love
and see if I remember

All you know,
is alone,
you see a,
Phantom Stranger!
down you go
all alone
you love my,
Phantom Stranger!

SALIVA

"Always"

I hear... a voice say "Don't be so blind"...
it's telling me all these things...
that you would probably hide...
am I... your one and only desire...
am I the reason you breathe...
or am I the reason you cry...

Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't get around you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...

I feel... like you don't want me around...
I guess i'll pack all my things...
I guess i'll see you around...
Its all... been bottled up until now...
as I walk out your door...
all I hear is the sound...

Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't get around you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...

I left my head around your heart...
Why would you tear my world apart...

Always... always... always... always...

I see... the blood all over your hands...
does it make you feel... more like a man...
was it all... just a part of your plan...
the pistol's shakin' in my hands...
and all I hear is the sound...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...
this life of solitude...
I pick myself off the floor...
and now i'm done with you...
Always...
Always...
Always...

Trans-Siberian

Beethoven's Last Night

WHAT IS ETERNAL

AND HERE IN THE NIGHT
AS I FEEL THE INFERNO
I STARE IN THE DARK
THINKING WHAT IS ETERNAL

THE MAN OR THE MOMENT
THE ACT OR THE REASON
THESE THOUGHTS FILL MY HEAD
AS I CONTEMPLATE TREASON

OF DREAMS I HAVE HAD
AND DREAMS I HAVE PONDERED
WHEN LATE IN THE NIGHT
MY MIND IT WOULD WANDER

TO THINGS I HAVE DONE
AND THEN QUICKLY REGRETTED
WHILE DENYING VICES
MY LIFE HAD SELECTED

AND I THINK WHAT I'VE DONE
OR HAVE YET TO BEGIN
AND THE MAN I'VE BECOME
AND THE MAN THAT I'VE BEEN

NOW CAUGHT IN A WALTZ
WITH THE ETERNAL DANCER
I'M COURTED BY DEATH
BUT DEATH ISN'T THE ANSWER
I SAY

ALL I WAS
MEANT TO BE
COULD I
SUDDENLY
JUST DECIDE
NOT A THOUGHT
WOULD SURVIVE
COULD IT BE
MY LIFE'S WORTH
ENDED THERE
WITH MY BIRTH

IF I COULD SEE SOMEONE
WHO'S BEEN THERE BEFORE ME
AND TRADED HIS SOUL
FOR A MOMENT OF GLORY

HIS PENANCE OR MERCY
BY SPIRITS DEBATED
WHILE JUDGED ON A SCALE
THAT'S BEEN HEAVILY WEIGHTED

AND WHAT HAVE I DONE
COULD THERE BE SUCH A SIN
IN THIS MAN I'VE BECOME
IN THIS MAN THAT I'VE BEEN

NOW CALLING TO GOD
FROM THE PIT'S VERY BOTTOM
I PRAY HE FORGIVES
EVERY SIN I'VE FORGOTTEN
THIS DAY

AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT MY FATE IT WOULD CONJURE
THIS TWIST IN THE ROAD
ON WHICH I HAVE WANDERED

EACH VISION AND DREAM NOW
COMPLETELY DISMEMBERED
TO GIVE ONE'S WHOLE LIFE
AND FIND NOTHING'S
REMEMBERED

AND WHAT GOOD IS A LIFE
THAT LEAVES NOTHING BEHIND
NOT A THOUGHT OR A DREAM
THAT MIGHT ECHO IN TIME

THE YEARS AND THE HOURS
THE SECONDS AND MINUTES
AND EVERYTHING THAT
MY LIFE HAS PLACED IN IT
BETRAYED
BETRAYED
BETRAYED

THE THINGS I HAVE DONE
THE PLACES I'VE BEEN
THE COST OF MY DREAMS
THE WEIGHT OF MY SINS

AND EVERYTHING THAT
I'VE GATHERED IN LIFE
COULD IT BE LOST
COULD IT BE LOST IN THIS
COULD IT BE LOST IN THIS
NIGHT

THE MOMENT

IN THIS WORLD OF CIRCUMSTANCE
CHILDREN NEVER FEAR FOREVER
AND THIS MOMENT THAT ENCHANTS
SOMEDAY WE MAY BOTH REMEMBER

THEN
MAYBE THEN
IF WE ARE STILL ALIVE
THEN
MAYBE THEN
THIS MOMENT WILL SURVIVE

THERE IS TIME IN EVERY WORD
THERE ARE WORDS IN EVERY REASON
AND THESE NOTES THAT ARE UNHEARD
ONE DAY THEY MAY FIND THEIR SEASON

THEN
MAYBE THEN
IF WE ARE STILL ALIVE
THEN
MAYBE THEN
THIS MOMENT WILL SURVIVE

VIENNA

SINCE I WAS A CHILD
I'VE SEEN HER IN A DREAM
A CAPTURED FAIRY TALE
THAT ECHOES CROSS MY LIFE

AND THOUGH I'VE COURTED HER
SHE'S ALWAYS STAYED UNSEEN
NOW ALL AT ONCE SHE
GLITTERS IN THE NIGHT

BUT THAT WAS YESTERDAY
AND THAT ALL WAS BEFORE
WHEN SHE WAS FAR AWAY
A SILHOUETTE OF DREAMS

BUT OTHERS WHISPERED
THAT SHE WAS SO MUCH MORE
AND SUDDENLY I NOW
KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN

DREAMS CHANGE
YEARS STRAIN
LOST ILLUSIONS
LAST STANDS
GOD'S HAND
ABSOLUTION
FOUND

FAIRY TALE SINS
VISIONS BY GRIMM
ALL FORGIVEN
LIVES SPENT IN VAIN
NEVER RECLAIMED
TAKE THEIR FINAL BOWS

PICTURES AND WORDS
VISIONS ABSURD
MADDENED POETS
ALL WITHIN SIGHT
FAILURES IN LIFE
WHO'LL NEVER KNOW IT
LAZARUS CRIES
THERE IN HIS EYES
HOPE HAS RISEN
DEPTH AND FACADE
ALL BEFORE ME NOW

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS

LOST IN YOUR DARK
I SEE YOU THERE
WHAT DO YOU SEE BEYOND YOUR STARE
AND YOU BELIEVE THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW

WHAT IS THIS THING YOU KEEP INSIDE
OUT OF THE LIGHT AND WRAPPED IN PRIDE
ALWAYS AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL SHOW

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW

KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU
WHAT ARE THESE VOICES THAT YOU HEAR
ARE THEY TOO FAR OR FAR TOO NEAR
WHAT ARE THESE THINGS THAT ECHO FROM THE PAST

WHO ARE THESE GHOSTS YOU SEE AT NIGHT
THERE IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR LIFE
THEY ONLY LIVE BY THE LIGHT YOU CAST

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW

KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU

I'LL BE AROUND
WHEN THERE'S NO REASON LEFT TO CARRY ON
AND EVERY DREAM YOU'VE EVER HAD IS GONE
AND THE DARK IS DEEP AND BLACK WITHOUT A SOUND
AND EVERY STAR HAS BEEN DRAGGED TO THE GROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND

THE DARK

( THE MUSES )

FEEL THE DARKNESS SMILING
EVERY NOTE IS DYING
SILENCE IS REFINING
EVERY THOUGHT IN HIS HEART

STILL THE FATES ARE WEAVING
EVERY NOTE THAT'S BLEEDING
AS HE SITS THERE SEETHING
ALL ALONE IN THE DARK
ALONE IN THE DARK
ALONE IN THE ...

BUT IN THE NIGHT
THE DARKNESS BREATHES
IF HE WILLS IT TO BE

BEFORE HIS EYES
THE MUSIC DIES
BUT HE WILL ALWAYS HEAR ME

HE SITS ALONE
THE CARDS ARE SHOWN
AS HE EMBRACES THE DARK

THE ONLY SOUND
THAT HE WILL HEAR
IS THERE IN HIS HEART

SOMEONE IS WHISPERING SOFTLY TO ME
SHADOWS OF THINGS THAT NO ONE CAN SEE
THEY ARE THERE FOR YOU IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE
YOU WANT THEM TO BE
YOU WANT THEM TO....

BUT IN THE NIGHT
THE DARKNESS BREATHES
IF HE WILLS IT TO BE

BEFORE HIS EYES
THE MUSIC DIES
BUT HE WILL ALWAYS HEAR ME

HE SITS ALONE
THE CARDS ARE SHOWN
AS HE EMBRACES THE DARK

THE ONLY SOUND
THAT HE WILL HEAR
IS THERE IN HIS HEART

THIS IS WHO YOU ARE

SOMETIMES
SLOWLY
TIME BRINGS REVELATION

WAITING
SOFTLY
FOR SOMEONE TO BELIEVE

THAT THE GHOSTS WE'VE HIDDEN OR LEFT TO DIE
HAVE NOW ARISEN AND WILL ARRIVE
TO SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED
SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED
SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED
TO ME

AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT YOU'D BE THE ONE
THAT I WOULD HAVE FOUND HERE WAITING

LOST IN THIS NIGHT
UNTIL YOU ARRIVED
AND ALWAYS TOO BLIND TO SEE

AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT AFTER THIS TIME
THAT I'D BE THE ONE YOU'RE SAVING

NOW UNDISGUISED
THE GHOSTS THAT SURVIVE
NOW SAY WHAT WAS MEANT TO BE

I NEVER WANTED TO GIVE MY LIFE AWAY
WHO EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD MATTER ANY WAY

WANDERING INSIDE THIS NIGHT
FINDING PIECES OF A LIFE
NEVER SURE I'D EVER KNOW WHAT IT MEANS

IT'S THE STRANGERS IN YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU'D NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D MEET
IT'S THE HAND THAT PICKED YOU UP
WHEN YOU'RE LAYING IN THE STREET

IT'S THE HAND THAT CUT YOU DOWN
IT'S THE DREAM THAT SOMEONE SHARED
WHEN YOU THOUGHT THAT ALL WAS LOST
IT'S THE FRIEND THAT WASN'T THERE

YOU CAN RUN FROM ALL THE MEMORY
BUT NEVER GET THAT FAR
FOR IN THE END THEY'LL FIND YOU
FOR THIS IS WHO YOU ARE

CHANGE ONE NOTE
CHANGE ONE LINE
NOTHING'S GOING TO BE THE SAME
CHANGE ONE LOSS
CHANGE ONE CUT
EVERYTHING IS RE-ARRANGED

EVERY ACT
CRUEL OR KIND
LOST INSIDE OUR MEMORY
IF YOU LOOK
THERE IN TIME

YOU'LL FIND IT IN
FIND IT IN
FIND IT IN
YOU'LL FIND IT IN ME

Close Every Door To Me

Close every door to me
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows
and shut out the light
Do what you want with me
Hate me and laugh at me
darken my daytime
and torture my night
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers 
Lie far from this world

Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israil are never alone
For I know I shall find
my own peace of mind
for I have been promised
A land of my own

(Choir)
Close every door to me
Hide All the world from me
Bar all the windows
and shut out the light


(Joseph)
Just give me a number
Instead of my name
forget all about me
and let me decay

I do not matter
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely
Then throw me away
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
but I know the answers
lie far from this world

Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israil
Are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own piece of mind
For we have been promised
A land of our own

ON THE HUNT

One by one we move the ground
Everyone's turned into a hound
Cuz hey everyone has to pay
One by one we make the stakes
Everyone's been greedy too afraid to fate
And why when the target is sky
Hey innocent angel
Innocent angel
Innocent angel
Innocent angel
We're on the hunt
You might run but we're right behind
You might fly but not too high
We'd rather die then let you to hide
You are so precious we know your price
Be afraid of us we are cold as ice
That's why you should stay in the sky
Hey innocent angel
Innocent angel
Innocent angel
Innocent angel
We're on the hunt
You are so precious we know your price
Be afraid of us we are cold as ice
It's allright we will get you tonight
Hey innocent angel
Innocent angel
Innocent angel
Innocent angel
We're on the hunt
Hey innocent angel
I don't regret my sins
Hey innocent angel
I'm gonna cut your wings

A big thanks to O.G.

Bring Me To Life

How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

[Chorus]
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

[Chorus]

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie)
There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love darling
Only you are the life among the dead

(All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me)

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
I've got to open my eyes to everything

(Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong)

Bring me to life

[Chorus]

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside)

Bring me to life

A big thanks to Meg

"Fallen"

"Haunted"

long lost words whisper slowly to me
still can't find what keeps me here
when all this time i've been so hollow inside
i know you're still there

watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you loving you
i won't let you pull me down

hunting you i can smell you - alive
your heart pounding in my head

watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
saving me raping me
watching me

"Origin"

My Immortal"

my immortal
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

Fallen

"Everybody's Fool"

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool

Jane Eyre

Farewell, Good Angel

Is this how you would leave me,
In ruin and despair?
My hope is quenched
My life is lost
Laid waste beyond repair.

I was wrong when I deceived you
But there was no other way
Your character won't let you live
The lie mine must obey.

And I don't mean to claim
That honor has been served
But why must I have eyes
To see your not there?
Why must I take once more breath
Let lightning strike
Thats not the worst
Now that you've shattered my soul
I die accursed.

So farewell, good angel,
Another day is done
I wrapped my life around you
And for a time two fused as one
And God should strike me down,
If you are truly gone.
But why must I have eyes
To see your not there?
Why must I take once more breath
Let lightning strike
Thats not the worst

I'd rather burn in hell,
Damning my soul to dwell
Lost in my pain
Than to live here on earth without my Jane.

Feels Like Heaven

Feels Like Heaven
by Peter Cetara and Chaka
Khan.

All through my wandering years
I always said I was bideing my time
Alone in the dark I'd face my fears
that no other heart would come to mine.

At first when you found me,
it took me awhile till I realised,
why I felt weak when you where around,
why I couldn't speak when I looked in your eyes.

All this time I've been searching
until you I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew love could feel like heaven
watching over me.

Wherever you are invisable hands
reach over the miles.
For every wish you make to the stars
there's one silent kiss I send to the sky.

All this time I've been searching
until you I was lost in my dreams
and I never knew love could feel like heaven
watching over me.

Everything's changed since you came my way
You brought the color to a world of change
And you make the love always seem right.

A big thanks to Michelle

'Color of Night'

movie

You and I moving in the dark
Bodies close, but souls apart.
Shattered smiles, secrets unrevieled.
I need to know the way you feel.

And I am giving you all I am
giving you all I want to be
I'll put it in your hands
if you could open up to me
Oh, can't we ever get beyond this wall
Cause all I want is just once
to see you in the light,
but you hide behind the color of the night.

I can't go on running from the past.
Love has torn away this mask.
And all I have, I break
I'm drowning and I blame it all on you.
I'm lost, God save me.

And I'll be giving you all I have
Giving you all I want to be
I'll put it in your hands
if you could open up to me
Oh, can't we ever get beyond this wall
cause all I want is just once to see you in the light
but you hide behind the color of the night.

A big thanks to Michelle

Angel

Angel:

Spend all your life waiting
for that second chance
For the break that would make it ok.
There's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and its hard at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
oh, beautiful release.
Memory seeps from my veins.
Let me feel empty, and wieghtless
and maybe I'll find some peace tonight.

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here.
From this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear.
You are torn from the wreakage
of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here.

So tired of the straight line,
and everywhere you turn
there's vulters and theives at your back.
Storm keeps on twisting,
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack.
Don't make no difference
escape one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness
oh, this glorious sadness
that brings me to my knees.

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark, cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear.
You are torn from the wreakage
of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel,
may you find some comfort here.

A big thanks to Michelle

The Scarlet Pimpernel

The Prayer

No, stay
I don't care what you've said or done
Don't go away
Not now, when life had just begun
Come back, and be the woman who I knew
Help me to believe in you
What on earth am I to do?

She's gone, this vision who was not quite real
I must move on despite the pain
The pain will heal
Oh, Lord, how could you let me love like this?
No one dies upon a kiss
And only fools believe in bliss
And yes, God knows I am a fool
A man deluded by his wife
A figure ripe for ridicule
Who's lived a vain and useless life
So be it then, I'll play that game
I do not give a tinker's damn
I'll be a fool, it's all the same
It truly doesn't matter what I am

God, no!
I'm broken, but I'm still alive
And slowly I will feel my soul revive
With time, I'll find a way to right this wrong
If it takes my whole life long
Lord, I'll fight my battles all alone
But make me strong

Queen : Greatest Hits II

The Show Must Go On

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on...

Who wants to live forever

There’s no time for us
There’s no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

There’s no chance for us
It’s all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

Jekyll and Hyde

TAKE ME AS I AM

JEKYLL:
Sometimes I see
Past the horizon,
Sure of my way,
Where I am going -

But where's the prize
I have my eyes on?
Where?
There is just no knowing!

And when despair
Tears me in two,
Who can I turn to
But you?
You know who I am...
Take me as I am.

EMMA:
Look in my eyes,
Who do you see there?
Someone you know,
Or just a stranger?

If you are wise,
You will see me there!
Love is the only danger!

Love meaning me,
Love meaning you,
We'll make that one dream come true!
You know who I am...
Take me as I am.

JEKYLL & EMMA:
Though fate won't always do
What we desire -
Still we can set
The world on fire!

Give me your hand,
Give me your heart -

JEKYLL:
Swear to me we'll never part!

EMMA:
We'll never part!

JEKYLL:
You know who I am.

EMMA:
You know who I am.

JEKYLL:
This is who I am.

EMMA:
This is who I am.

JEKYLL & EMMA:
Take me as I am...

Beauty and the Beast musical

IF I CAN'T LOVE HER

Beast
And in my twisted face, there's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints at kindness.
And from my tortured shape, no comfort, no escape.
I see, but deep within is utter blindness.
Hopeless as my dream dies, as the time flies, love a lost illusion.
Helpless, unforgiving, cold and driven to this sad conclusion.

No beauty could move me, no goodness improve me.
No power on earth, if I can't love her.
No passion could reach me, no lesson could teach me
How I could have loved her and make her love me, too.
If I can't love her, then who?

Long ago I should have seen all the things I could have been.
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward!

No pain could be deeper, no life could be cheaper.
No point anymore, if I can't love her!
No spirit could win me, no hope left within me,
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free!
But it's not to be.
If I can't love her, let the world be done with me.

(The Reason)

The Reason

I'm not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didn't do
but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you.
and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you

I'm sorry that i hurt, its something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away
and be the one who catches all your tears, that's why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you,
and the reason is you, and the reason is you,
and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person, i never meant to do those things to you
and so i have to say before i go that i just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show a side of me you didn't know
a reason for all that i do, and the reason is you

STORY OF THE YEAR

"Until The Day I Die"

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you

As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you died right now
You know that I'd die to
I'd die too

You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does

We'll make the same mistakes
I'll take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you

Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
But still we'll say, "remember when"
Just like we always do
Just like we always do

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you

Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!
Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!!!

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Mistakes like friends do

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Made the same mistakes

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
Until the day I die!!!

THRICE

"Illusion Of Safety"

The Red Death

Entertain the hope that somehow you'll escape me
weld the bolts and close the iron gate
drink deeply THE ILLUSION OF YOUR SAFETY,
my how wishful thoughts inebriate,

masquerade and revel in your opulence.
writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance.
swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy,
a dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe
remember me?

you look so surprised to see me here,
with hells black wings did i overperch these walls,
for stony limits cannot hold me out,
and now
you
all
DIE

Betrayal Is A Symptom Lyrics

faith,
is not something that i grasp
its something that i fake,
as I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks,
faith
without actions is a mask,
for making the same mistakes
as I'm slipping as I'm falling through the cracks.

somehow i find beauty in our failings,
somehow i find meaning in these lies
somehow I'm made perfect in this fracture,
your back is begging sweetly for my knives,

I'm spilling blood,
glancing down to hide my face,
i walk with eyes closed tight through monuments of grace,

somehow i find beauty in our failings,
somehow i find meaning in these lies
somehow I'm made perfect in this fracture,
your back is begging sweetly for my knives!

my faith is a front, I'm spilling blood,
glancing down to hide my face, I walk with eyes closed
through monuments of grace, I'm spilling blood
glancing down to hide my face i walk with eyes closed
through monuments of grace

isn't it sweet how,
trusted with angels,
and how so quickly
i break my promises?
isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet?

"Other Songs"

Send Me An Angel

Do you believe in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Don't tell me a lie
Don't be false or untrue
It all comes back to you

Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defenses are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own

If a girl walks in
And carves her name in my heart
I'll turn and run away
Everyday we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love

It get's in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above

Send me an angel, Send me an angel
Right now, Right now
Send me an angel, Send me an angel
Right now, Right now

Empty dreams can only disappoint
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up, don't give up
You can be lucky in love

It get's in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above

(repeat)
Send me an angel, Send me an angel
Right now, Right now
Send me an angel, Send me an angel
Right now, Right now

Joseph Merrick

Musical

Joseph Merrick

The shadows of evening fall,
The orchestra’s sleeping.
The lingering echoes fade
Of wonder and weeping.
As everyone leaves the hall
Amidst all the laughter
Your spirit returns and the stage is alive
Forever and after.

You touch me and open my heart
And feelings that I’ve never known
Surround my and enter my soul
At last I am home….

Perfect in every worth
The web you uncover,
And I am the hero who stands by your side
With you as my lover….

The shadows of evening fall
And mingle between us
And only the blind can deny me this dream-
For they’ve never seen us.
But all those who saw you tonight
Performing as never before
Would move the heavens and tide
To be by your side.

The shadows of evening fall,
The curtain's descended
And all that is left is a shadow of doubt
This dream has ended.

Thanks Phantom board Rebecca

What It Is To Burn

Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day
And still:

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy,
for the sun
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Today is fire, and she burns
Today is fire, and she burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns

Like a burning star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Stone Sour

Bother

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

Aerosmith

I'm alone
Yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love - Let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough - I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough I've suffered and I've seen the light

[Chorus:]
Baby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right

Don't know what I'm gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes it's true - Loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love - I'm nothing but a begger
Without your love - a dog without a bone
What can I do I'm sleeping in this bed alone

[Chorus]
Come and save me tonight

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why

Baby , Baby
[Chorus]

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
you're my angel
Come and take me allright
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight,
Come and save me tonight

Creep

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Josh Groban

Song #1: "Broken Vow" Tell me is name I want to know The way he looks And where you go I need to see his face I need to understand Why you and I came to an end Tell me again I want to hear Who broke my faith in all these years Who lays with you at night While I'm here all alone Remembering when I was your own (Chorus) I let you go I let you fly Why do I keep on asking why I let you go Now that I found A way to keep somehow More than a broken vow Tell me the words I never said Show me the tears you never shed Give me the touch The one you promised to be mine Or has it vanished for all time (Chorus) I close my eyes And dream of you and I And then I realize There's more to love than only bitterness and lies I close my eyes I'd give my soul To hold you once again And never let this promise end (Chorus)...end	Isn't that just so sad! I cried the first time I heard that song. sniffles
Song #2: "She's Out of my Life" She's out of my life She's out of my life And I don't know whether to laugh or cry I don't know whether to live or die And it cuts like a knife She's out of my life It's out of my hands It's out of my hands To think for two years she was here And I took her for granted I was so cavalier Now the way that it stands She's out of my hands So I've learned that love's not possession And I have learned that love won't wait Now I have learned that love needs expression But I learned too late And she's out of my life She's out of my life Damned indecision and cursed pride Kept my love for her locked deep inside And it cuts like a knife She's out of my life...	Ok yet another sad song that I think reflects Erik's state of mind after Christine let with Raoul and realizing his past mistakes
Song #3: "You're the Only Place" Seems like our love is on a road to nowhere fast All my life I thought a love like this would last But every road can hide a corner we can't see I had a vision that I woke up by your side I felt you breathing and our souls were intertwined But who controls love's destiny--not me We had it all Right in our hands We had the space to fly and still a place to land (Chorus) So I'm calling out I'm calling out you're the only one Who can save us from what we've done Don't leave me hanging on I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again It's just darkness I'm living in And you're the only place my heart has ever been Maybe I'm young and in the ways of love naive Maybe I'm desperate for a reason to believe There wasn't any way I thought that we would fall I've seen perfection in a rainbow in the sky I've seen a child make the coldest grown man cry But loving you I thought was greater than them all We had it all Just you and me Now there's a doorway to my heart without a key (Chorus) Wherever you are right now Come back and show me how you feel Because I'm lost without you here Calling out I'm calling out to the only one Who can save us from what we've done Don't leave me hanging on And I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again It's just darkness I'm living in 'Cause you're the only place my heart has ever been	Whew...what great lyrics...don't you think? After all Christine is the only place that Erik's heart has ever been...
Title: Father Figure Artist: George Michael That’s all I wanted, something special, Something sacred in your eyes, For just one moment, to be bold and naked At your side Sometimes I think that you’ll never understand me Maybe this time is forever, say it can’t be That’s all you wanted, something special, Someone sacred in your life Just for one moment, to be warm and naked At my side Sometimes I think that you’ll never understand me But something tells me together, we’d be happy I will be your father figure (oh baby) Put your tiny hand in mine (I’d love to) I will be your preacher teacher (be your daddy) Anything you have in mind (it would make me) I will be your father figure (very happy) I have had enough of crime (please let me) I will be the one who loves you Until the end of time That’s all I wanted But sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime That’s all I wanted just to see my baby’s blue eyes shine This time I think that my lover understands me If we have faith in each other Then we can be strong I will be your father figure Put your tiny hand in mine I will be your preacher teacher Anything you have in mind I will be your father figure I have had enough of crime I will be the one who loves you Until the end of time If you are the desert, I’ll be the sea If you ever hunger - hunger for me Whatever you ask for, that’s what I’ll be So when you remember the ones who have lied Who said that they cared But then laughed as you cried Beautiful darling, don’t think of me Because all I ever wanted It’s in your eyes baby, baby And love can’t lie, no... (greet me with the eyes of a child) My love is always telling me so (heaven is a kiss and a smile) Just hold on, hold on I won’t let you go, my baby I will be your father figure Put your tiny hand in mine I will be your preacher teacher Anything you have in mind I will be your father figure I have had enough of crime So I am gonna love you Until the end of time I will be your father I will be your preacher I’ll be your daddy I will be the one who loves you Until the end of time

Sarah McLachlan

Possession

Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
and solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
and not be satisfied

And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed,
Trying to find an honest word,
to find the truth enslaved,
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath,
your words keep me alive,

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander,
it's morning that I dread,
Another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread,
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride,
Nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied,

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear..

Thanks broadwaybaby81

Do What You Have To Do
Mirrorball

What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has lead you through it
you do what you have to do

and I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul

I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do

but I have the sense to recognize
that I don't know how
to let you go

a glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow

deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you

I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do

and I have the sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go

Tom Waits’ Lonely from his album Closing Time, 1973 I think
Lonely, lonely
lonely eyes,
lonely face,
lonely lonely in your place.

I thought that I knew all that there was to
lonely, lonely, lonely...

Melanie Jane, won't feel the pain.
Lonely, lonely
lonely eyes, lonely face,
lonely lonely in your place.

and
I still love you, I still love you,
lonely, lonely...

Thanks Angelphic

Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
