danny abosch, john maclay - the story of the phantom كلمات الأغنية

[brooke]
okay. put on your listening ears for five minutes. got them on? good. now, just listen

long ago, there lived a man, his name was carlo, and he ran an ancient theatre where his daughter was the star
with me?

[zeke]
karla’s the star, yeah

[brooke]
no!
his daughter’s name is esmerelda, and she’s famous, people come to hear her sing from near and far

[zeke]
got it

[brooke]
good
now, there’s a rumor going round, that in the tunnels underground, there lives_

[zeke]
oooh, wait, i know! can i guess?

[brooke]
sure, if you can
[zeke]
a mystеrious phantom! me! right?

[brooke]
right! well, mostly, but the twist is that this ghostly еvil presence isn’t monster, but man

now this man had been blessed, with a gift he processed
musical talents: completely unmatched
but as you often will find
in epic tales of this kind
this gift came with a curse attached:

a face that was hideous
and so jarring
he wore a mask to cover all the scarring

[zeke]
cool!

[brooke]
and lived underground inside a hole

[zeke]
wait, a hole? why a hole?

[brooke]
all his life, he’d been tormented, teased, and taunted
but now, his hunters would become the haunted
the world that always made him feel unwanted
would hear the toll
the sounds of a tortured soul
[zeke]
okay, so i was born with a lightning scar. got it!

[brooke]
no, no, your typical, everyday scar

[zeke]
oooh, scar like lion king..

[brooke]
you know, you are actually the worst. listen up, you’re gonna need to know this

one day, at his piano distant sounds of a soprano
drifted towards him from the theatre above

[zeke]
kay, so this hole has a piano?

[brooke]
sweeter than a bird in all his life he’d never heard a sound like this
and he was instantly in love

the voice of course was carlo’s daughter
and the phantom went and sought her
to become his secret student, and his muse
and if you think she found this oh_so_enigmatic virtuoso, kinda creepy, then i’ve got some shocking news:

because she fell and fell hard
he was battered and scarred
but she could see that inside, there was more

something alluring, she’d find
in the sadness behind
that terrifying mask he wore

[zeke]
wait a minute, i’m your boyfriend? are we gonna have to kiss? that’s gross! you’re like, my sister!

[brooke]
zeke, it’s called acting

and though he was hideous, and she was perfection
through music, they found their connection
a bond beyond their own control

[zeke]
you better not get sick, i am not kissing tina

[brooke]
and though his face tormented her and chilled her
his compositions haunted her and thrilled her
his mesmerizing melodies fulfilled her, made her whole
the sounds of a tortured soul

[zeke]
she was beautiful, and he was hideous. okay, so this is beauty and the beast!

[brooke]
zeke, less talking_ more listening! ‘cause here’s where it get interesting

ezzy has another man, some guy named raoul who’s tall and handsome, and not all that pleased about her latest beau

[zeke]
ah, always a triangle

[brooke]
angrily, raoul tracks him to his lair where he attacks him, and they battle in the passageway below

[zeke]
awesome!

[brooke]
and when he took his last breath
the phantom welcomed his death;
he’d rather die than live apart

when it was over and done
raoul had k!lled him, he’d won
but he’d lost esmerelda’s heart

‘cause though he was pretty, yes, and a keeper
the phantom’s love was so much deeper
a loss that nothing could console

no more she’d see that face that once had chilled her
no more she’d hear that music that fulfilled her
and people say that that’s the thing that k!lled her on the whole

she ran away and was never seen again. but get this

when they returned to find the phantom to unmask it
they never found a body for the casket
they say he had depending who you ask it
one last goal:

[zeke]
one last goal?

[brooke]
to this day, inside that theatre or near it
if you listen very closely, you can hear it
the songs of a tortured spirit’s final role
the sounds of a tortured soul

that’s the basic plot, anyway

[zeke]
so it’s about a person who died at a theatre, and then haunts it forever?

[brooke]
yes

[zeke]
brooke, that’s just like the story ms. walker told! this play is just like the story of our school! that is so… meta! man…
