I come from down in the catacombs of the opera house
I hide my face while I long for her
While I long for her lovely voice
Oh, I long for her lovely voice
Her lovely voice, her lovely voice
She sings, la, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, la, da, da, da
Through every crack the voice of an angel
She doesn't know who I am for I am a ghost
Oh, I am a ghost to her
She doesn't know who I am and she never will
Unless I can make her believe
Oh, I've gotta make her believe in the darker side of me
So I ask her
(So I ask)
Take my hand and follow me on this journey to the underworld
How I want her to want me
Her soaring voice carries into my mind
I'm gonna take her away
With me she will stay forever
Don't deny me, understand that I, I am a monster
I am a monster, won't you come with me now?
She doesn't know who I am
For I am a ghost, oh, I am a ghost to her
She doesn't know who I am and she never will
Unless I can make her believe in me, in me, in me
This face is deceitful when it smiles
It doesn't show how desperate I am inside
So come with me and we'll go
Believe in me and I'll show you who I am
So you can see the man behind the monster that I am
Fighting my identity, I'll come, take you away
She doesn't know who I am
For I am a ghost, oh, I am a ghost to her
She doesn't know who I am and she never will
No, she never, never will believe, believe in me
