Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Tarja Turunen]
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again? For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind
[Verse 2: Marko Hietala]
Sing once again with me, our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside your mind
[Verse3: Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala]
Those who have seen your face draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear, it's me they hear
Your spirit and my voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my/your mind
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Beware, the Phantom of the Opera
[Verse 4: Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala]
Where all your fantasies, you always knew
That man and mystery lay both in you
And in this labyrinth where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here inside my/your mind
[Outro]
Sing, my Angel of Music
He's there the Phantom of the Opera
Sing for me
Sing, my Angel of Music
Sing for me

Never say never

[@stefanl5183]

Yeah, I think your right about Nightwish. Some things are just magical and can only come together at just the right point in time. For example, look at Guns and Roses. They were great back in the day. Then they split up. Now of course they are back together, but it just isn't the same. There are magical moments in time when all the right forces align and things come together. And then those moments pass. I think that's definitely the case with Nightwish. So, we will never see the real Nightwish again. However, every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. So, I could possibly see Tarja and Marco working together at some point in the future. In fact, just a few years ago, they did a christmas performance together. Who knows? Maybe the 2 of them could perhaps do something like this again. Tarja has a pretty good band she tours with. Perhaps it's not out of the realm of possibility she could have a special guest join her for a song or 2 at one of her shows. I think the fans would love it.

[@eddiemelikian2440]

This is without a doubt, the greatest version of this song.

[@Chusma_Leppard]

Those who went to that show don't know how lucky they were!!! Jesus, this version is the purest metal in the f*cking world! It's been years and my emotions still explode every time I hear it!

[@dondiegoduclou5613]

It is indeed. Well said !!! Today is like the tenth time i'm lissing tot this awesome performance......

[@clydekaila25]

Kudos to Nightwish for delivering THE BEST performance of this song..from the music to Marko and Tarja..just golden 💯

[@JulioC2607]

This is the best performance I ever see in my entire life! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Jurgen_Ibro]

These duets between Marko and Tarja are pure gold, this version is the absolute best there is to this day. No offense intended to none of the original performers or other cover performers, but no one can do better, here at the end are both the real angel and the real phantom.

[@user-cb6kj2hh3y]

Согласна, эта версия самая лучшая.

I would have agreed. But I just saw a version in the voice of germany that came really really close. 😮

[@nestorsuarez373]

I remember being an angry, angsty teenager in search for meaning and purpose when my sister lent the "Bless the Child" album. Listening to Nightwish helped me appreciate the beauty of genuine art, it suffused me with a sense of the sublime which I couldn't find in the religion I'd been brought up in, and inspired me to explore the world of literature. I'm a better person thanks to this awesome band.

[@georgianasutu5882]

I think I couldn't have said it better myself... Oh, the nostalgia😅I was lucky to see both Tarja (in a classical concert) and NW, exactly on the End of An Era Tour, I was 18. ..I still know every song by heart, since I wrote everything down "searching for meaning"...

[@davysonsantos3512]

The exactilly same thing happaned to me. That's true magic. That's the power of Art. Thank you Tuomas and Nightwish!

[@joseveloso6896]

A Tarja e o Marko foram os melhores que o Nightwish já teve. Melhor época!

I was in the audience. I was 15 back then and its still one of the best concerts I've been to.

[@namelastname871]

My 1st real intoduction with Nightwish was during my Finnish conscription service at Millennium - due my room/barracks mate(s). That would be 1/00. ( Indeed had to report 6am 1st jan 2001 ~6am or so.. not much celebration night before ). I guess I can say I've stayed with Tarja for close to 23 years or so..

[@adameleliott1777]

Just the same as you, this was the first Nightwish sont that I discovered around age 17 and ten years later I’m still not over it. What an incredible band ❤️
