Haunted Aria

(ahhhh) Beneath the grand stage,

in the shadows of stone I carved out a kingdom

of sorrow alone But then came your voice,

like a spark in the cold

A beautiful secret too pure to be sold

Sing for me, let your melody rise!

(sing for me) Tear down the curtain of earthly disguise!

I am your master,

the ghost of your art

Bound to your breath and the beat of your heart

I taught you the phrases

that capture the sky

With no one to witness,

and no one to spy

They laud you with flowers,

they cheer in the light But you belong only to me

and the night

Sing for me, let your melody rise!

(sing for me) Tear

down the curtain of earthly disguise!

I am your master,

the ghost of your art

Bound to your breath and the beat of your heart

My music... is finished... (shhh...)
