death at the opera - schwarzschild radius lyrics

Loading...

scene 1, open curtains. setting: backstage of the opera
under the dim moonlight of the opening night
the murmurs whisper of alessandro who directs the stage
but is the bane of his actors under the lights, he pauses to listen to them out of sight

my tired blue eyes see what i have been doing i know what i am doing, is it not my job to push them to their limits
to find how to channel p-ssion, true and raw emotion, they need to know real pain to suffer on a stage and
make the audience break with them it’s all for them it’s all for the show
places! it’s nearly time to go. you’ll thank me one day for making you decay

places are taken, the stage is set, the curtains remove themselves to reveal the show
the audience roars, the lights come up, alessandro hides his pride and glow

but little do they know, a blade glimmers as the shadow of a man steps into sight
his mask a pale white, spotted crimson as the knife plunges into the lead’s now mangled flesh
his corpse collapses to the ground

a scream

a panic, a cry, as the mask smiles with empty eyes
admiring the soul he’d taken for himself
and as the knife flew across another actor’s throat
a laugh and he was out of sight

alessandro catches a glimpse of his cape slip away
he follows with no hesitation this phantom shall pay

what have you done, sweet jesus what have you done
they have done you no wrong they were only boys
who are you what do you want
if it’s money take it, i’ve got plenty to flaunt
it is nothing you can help, you squealing swine
everything i could ever want i take it to be mine
you always tell your actors to learn pain while you feel pleasure
i feel you need a taste of what it is to really suffer

and with this final word the hilt of his blade struck alessandro
to the temple and he fell to the ground
the last thing he remembered the villain slipped out the window without a sound
a note stabbed into the wall above his head “shut down the show or these will not be the last of the dead” signed, the phantom
a scream

yes a scream as the phantom returns and as he takes his next victim, 15 holes in her back
he laughs as he throws her limp body to the ground the show had returned maybe this time they’ll learn

no alessandro is ready this time, he grabs the sword from his scabbard takes a deep breath and
races to the sound to the rescue he’ll come and the mask will be destroyed

so we meet again so we do i thought you understood what this meant
i fear you are mistaken i am here to strike you down i’d like to see you try who are you
you know me yes you know me i am your biggest fears your nightmares come true (wait yes i know you)
you know me yes you know me, you’ve hurt me too now i’m here to hurt you (my mind is whirring i know this voice who are you who are you)

the phantom drew his blade
alessandro looked in his eyes
the shimmer of blue was unmistakable
he shed a tear as the mask raised the knife

the phantom was cornered his blade on the ground sword to his neck alessandro prepared to strike
but the mask was too quick and rolled out of the way with match in hand, all it needed was it’s light

alessandro screamed, but it was too late
the match fell in slow motion, fully ablaze
