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

[@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.

I love the fact that Tuomas is "singing" along with the song

he's the Phantom of the Opera... pretty accurate.

[@demowons]

@@K.Monster whoa I didn't think about it like that, that's quite a cool way to think about it

[@K.Monster]

@@demowons Yeah... the whole point is to make us think of Tuomas as the 'phantom' that makes us feel, think, or sing any Nightwish song. Yeah... Nightwish is full of those kinda' jokes. No big deal but just a really good artistic marketing strategy.

[@demowons]

@@K.Monster yea I know, I just haven't seen that video anywhere before to make that connection

Years passing by Tarja and Marko combo are just irreplaceable, at least to me. Just hearing Tarja's voice in the beginning gives the chill reminiscing Phantom of the opera. what a legendary performance.

Jeebuz... I'm back to listen to Nightwish after years, and... sorry Floor, but Tarja was on a whole other level. Her voice was the true embodiment of this band, the style contained within the lyrics, the lyric vocals... too bad she ain't with them anymore.

[@Sergei_Agarkoff]

Of course. The very wide voice range - from infrasonic to ultrasound, and trained lungs leave no chances for Floor. Even if Floor much better than many of lady-singers/

[@MauMenzori]

@@Sergei_Agarkoff Oh definately. I'm not taking away Floor's merit, as she is an amazing singer and clearly has total control about her abilities. No questions there. I am just comparing these two women. No one else.
