With Great Power

PHANTOM: 

Night-time sharpens,
Heightens each sensation.
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!
