Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night .
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar...
And you'll live as you've never lived before .
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you
Feel it, hear it, closing in around 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.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul Take you where you long to be!
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."
Phantom of the Opera,
Music of the Night
