This is a tragic, dreadful & veracious story of the so-called Opera Ghost.
In spite all superstitions & absurd imagination, he lived a life full of sadness.
A sorrowful soul, which claims that he never, felt anything but depression & agony.
He was hurting people in order to get what he wanted / Killing. Spreading the terror.
Cries of terror.
Rumors say that he fell in love with almost every opera singer, but they all failed his highly expectations.
Years & years have gone by & as much as he wanted to feel love and desire, he was terrified. Terrified to love.

"Scared to Love"

|

"So long to my youth, so lone I am terrified.
I'm so scared to love, scared to die.
I am trapped by some spells / I am lost in the woo / I am charmed by all wonderful lies."
Ask the stars why are you so sad.
"I'm dying from love."

“Is it the Opera Ghost?”
01:51
|
|||
He was haunting every opera house; he stalked about the buildings, like a shadow, never spoke to anybody, made no noise in walking.
Is it the Opera Ghost?
His ghost story soon swelled to enormous proportions among the opera houses. All girls liked this mysterious being, this mysterious supernatural being. The opera ghost? Is this really him, does he really exist?
Is it the Opera Ghost?
He’s cursed to a life without love, he's traveling alone and yet his passion is craving for more.

“Drums Interlude”

His passion was opera; he adored everything related to it, the young ladies of the ballet, the smell of the theatre, the sound of strings. A singer himself, a great maestro & a composer, he watched all his plays being performed all over the world in famous theaters.
During his journeys he was always looking for new sounds to add to his masterpieces.
All we know is that once on a rainy or a sunny day he flew to New Orleans.
Fascinated by the savage rhythms of the Negro slaves, he orchestrated his new operas with a new kind of music, what he called a mysterious discovery,
Jazz.

New Orleans, the land of broken dreams, the Phantom flows guided by the wind.
Voiced echo down from the bayou, to the cemetery in New Orleans, spirits scream. Spirits are dancing to the rhythm of the Voodoo Queen.
Long live the Queen, long live the Queen, spirits scream for the Queen.
Praise the spirits praise the spells, she is staring from her grave, she can make her magic spells, and the creatures of the bayou are freaking scared.
Oh, my sweet love, she will never let you go.
Then, one day she was loved, she was worshiped by a crazy ghost, when he saw her, his eyes exploded by a strange and mysterious cause.
Desire-full, spellbound, lost in the woods, he wanted to conquer the heart and mind of the Voodoo Queen.
Ha-ha-ha ho-ho-ho may Lord have mercy to the poor ghost.
New Orleans the land of broken dreams, the Phantom flows to cure his painful dreams
"No one cares for my heart. No one cares for the Phantom".

The ghost was wandering around the bayou of Louisiana when he found himself in the middle of a ceremony down to the Congo Square.
The crowd was crawling in the ground like snakes, singing with a strange voice, worshiping a most impressive creature, the Voodoo Queen herself, the notorious Marie Laveau.

“The Love Song”

He was deeply & insanely in tremendous love with Marie. Full of ecstasy he claimed her heart.
"Love. Wait me home, take my hand warm my hand, i want to spend some time with you, I want to spend the night here by your side away from all the others.
Ooh I am falling in love; I am falling again, for my Queen.
Touch my hand, with your hand, touch your hair with my hand and let me spend my time with you, let me crawl for you up to the stars for I’m not afraid no more.
You are calling me down”

Marie was flattered and also in love with the powerful Phantom, the powerful ghost, she found that he was fitting to her strange desires, to her supernatural powers.
The odd couple lived happily for years when some day something horrible happened. Something terrible happened.
She caught him flirting and screwing with a singer and a young dancer of the opera house. He just couldn't let the past behind. He just couldn't let the past behind.
The queen was furious, mad, crazy, she cursed him, put all her voodoo powers against him, all her dark forces against the poor ghost.
(Never dare to face the dark powers of a woman)

My mask is melting my voice is breaking / I can’t sing no more
My love is fading all mirrors breaking / my idol is gone
I’m just a man who loved the music / he loved too much
I’m just a guy who knew that life is all thorns and dust
How can I know that I am not insane / when all the people say this is the end /
the Phantom of the Opera is Dead.
I’m dead from love /
I’m dead inside /
I will shout it to the world I will scream in the night /
I will scream if I have to
Listen to me listen to me / You think I’m insane / but I got wings I’m ready to fly / my masks left behind
I don’t mind if I die / after all who could forget all this terror I have spread
How can I know that I am not insane, when all the people say this is the end,
the Phantom of the Opera is Dead.
I’m not insane, let all the others pray, let them burn their tears away i don't mind if i die // listen to me listen to me / / don’t listen to their lies
The Phantom never dies

This was the end of his life, if he ever had one.
Marie offered him a Jazz Funeral. She wanted to honor the thing she loved the most. And she did love him.
At the parade to the cemetery the band was playing a slow melancholic hymn. The queen was devastated. Coming back to the city they changed to an up-tempo joyful tune while she was watching the second line dancing.
It is a Jazz Funeral, where people are dying to come to.

Hey folks I’m going to New Orleans cemetery to see my phantom there, to see my phantom there.
He was stretched in a long black coffin, so sweet, so cold, so dead.
I'm gonna leave him to die alone, down by the riverside, to die and rot and sing no more.
