This song, composed by Sam Bakker and written by me, Luna Hamelink is inspired by Andrew Lloyd’s Webber musical The Phantom of the Opera, and the novel written by Gaston Leroux. We performed this in the Oosterpoort, for our music exam, on 10/12/18.
It was nice to do this performance with Sam Bakker, we worked really hard on this, and it was quite a success!
Lyrics The Phantom’s Sorrow:
In the moonlight we danced
Said our prayers to the night
Let the music take our souls
To the phantom of the night
To join him in a moonlit sky
The graves are empty
The music is gone
Won’t you remember
The times we sang our song
When we’re dancing
For forever between the stars
Now have we become
Strangers of our own despair
Drown in the seas
No longer there
Act like a phantom all your life
Don’t you care
Hide behind a façade
But don’t you see
The tears in the seas
Won’t be coming from me
Death waits for me in a dull white suit
Has packed all my sins
Takes me away from here,
Away from you
Takes me away to where the music plays
Where you make the music of the night
Where the dream between the nightmare stays
Find me in your soul
Let the music take control
The phantom is there
Takes me down to his core
Guided by music I adore
Shows me all I want to see
Till I drown in ecstasy
I’m here inside your mind
Join me in a moonlit sky
Hear the music of the night
Drown in the music
Hear me scream
The Phantom is there
Down into the sea
Join me between the stars
Where the magic plays
Tricks on our hearts
Where the love survives
In a moonlit sky
