lyrics

That night left scars
Carlotta ill, Christine disappeared
Raoul’s sorrow reached new heights
He found solace in the opium pipe
In the midst of silence he stood
The pale night and his heart grew cold.
Just twenty one
He thought of death
And the pain it would end
As he held the noose
She sent for him
At the masked ball
We will meet my friend
The kindness quickly rekindled his hope
to find out about a truth untold.
Like snow on the first day of spring
His hate disappeared
He donned a suit of silken white
And chased the remnants in his tar stained pipe
As a storm crawled close he slipped into the hall
By the staircase she took him by the hand
Afraid of losing her
In the crushing waves of madness.
In the wake of his guide
His grudge gone when he saw
Gruesome gold letters
Mark the red death stalking abroad.
