Song lyrics

Send "The Phantom Of The Opera" ringtones to your cell

In sleep he sang to me
in dreams he came...
that voice which calls to me
and speaks my name

And do I dream again?
For now I find
the Phantom of the Opera is there-
inside my mind... 

Sing once again with me
our strange duet...
My power over you
grows stronger yet... 

And though you turn from me,
to glance behind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there-
inside your mind... 

Those who have seen your face
draw back in fear...
I am the mask you wear... 

It's me they hear... 

Your/my spirit and my/your voice,
in one combined:
the Phantom of the Opera is there-
inside your/my mind... 

He's there, the Phantom of the Opera...
Beware the Phantom of the Opera... 

In all your fantasies,
you always knew
that man and mystery... 

...were both in you... 

And in this labyrinth,
where night is blind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there/here-
inside your/my mind... 

He's there the Phantom of the Opera
Sing, Sing my Angel of music, sing, Sing For Me!

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love Tarja's voice... But in this song I prefer the original female vocals combined (sp?) with Nightwish' male vocals (Marco?)... Don't know why... Tough I like their version & I love the original.

16 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this version, my band is doing a cover to it and like a ton of other nightwish songs. Nightwish is awesome I like them better then Lacuna Coil and as for Evanescence I don't care for there mainstream music so much but there old underground stuff is really good and there new cd thats comming out probly around the end of this year will should be good.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Nice try, doesn't quite hit the spot compared to other Nightwish songs though.

55 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This version grew on me- Marco might have sung in a sensible voice and Tarja could have had a good crack at the end bit, but it's still very enteraining to listen to. Not to mention, truly, truly bizarre

12 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal the original has always been one of my all time favourite songs. When i heard that Nightwish had done a cover i was sceptical!! this is one of the first songs that got me truly listening to Nightwish!!
