Sing once again with me a strange new way My power over you grows stronger, yeah And though you turn from me to glance behind The phantom of the opera is there inside your mind In your fantasy, so why can't we be still? Why can't we love each other? Is kindness an ancient skill buried by our blindness? And if we look ahead we'll dance the sun and the season The phantom of the opera is here inside your mind What about the world around us? How can we make it seem? And now that our fathers are gone And we've been left to carry on What about the age of reason?
