Phantom of the Opera

I feel for you, beyond the spectrum your eyes speak to me
Victoria my emotions is possessed by infatuation
Oh my love, please show yourself to me
I will build a kingdom, where you can be my queen
Oh Victoria on this eve will you come to me
I want to take your hand and be peaceful
I want to hear you say, come lay with me and love me, I’ve waited for you
Please take me I need to be with you
To escape the world’s catacombs, caverns, and mazes of trials
I need a light to guide me through the darkest times
Your enticing passion feeds me, lighting my fire
I have bathed in fear, I have ran into dead ends
Breathe in the red magic, breath in the passion
The world is cruel, full of black magic
Breathing in darkness, breathing in sadness
Oh Victoria don’t you know I care for you
You deserve your night, steeping into the spotlight
For now on forevermore stand, become a legend
Will I become another phantom of the opera
Living behind a mask, compressing my heart when you’re near
I’m torn between unfinished love and lust
Becoming a slave to my desires, when I sleep
I must pour out all of my surviving fondness for you
So I can go down my own path, to no longer have any regrets
But still I question why I feel this way, suffocated by own heart’s confusion
Because for years your voice, body, and spirit has left me
Now I feel my self being consumed yet again
What is the meaning of this, marveling at your beauty yet again
I’m becoming a phantom of the Opera
