In the shadows, I dwell alone
A mind so vast, a heart of stone
I've touched the stars, embraced the night
Yet love's sweet touch eludes my sight
Oh, Erik, master of the mind
In the world of love, you're left behind
A heart that yearns, a soul that cries
For love's embrace, beneath the skies
No art or skill beyond my hand
I've conquered all, across the land
Yet like Faust, I search in vain
For love's sweet kiss, to ease my pain
Oh, Erik, master of the mind
In the world of love, you're left behind
A heart that yearns, a soul that cries
For love's embrace, beneath the skies
In the darkness, I weave my dreams
A love so pure, or so it seems
Christine, the light, my heart's desire
In her voice, I find my fire
Oh, Erik, master of the mind
In the world of love, you're left behind
A heart that yearns, a soul that cries
For love's embrace, beneath the skies
For as long as I live, no love will see
The man behind the mask, the real me
A genius cursed, a heart so true
In Christine's eyes, my dreams renew
Oh, Erik, master of the mind
In the world of love, you're left behind
A heart that yearns, a soul that cries
For love's embrace, beneath the skies
In the end, my heart may break
But for Christine, my soul will ache
A love unspoken, a dream so bright
In her voice, I find my light.
