The light of our life begins to fade
You are gone and I am alone
And our portrait by light betrayed
And all those things that we shared
Are now to eternal rest laid

I am your passion
Your slowing colour
Your heart unbeating
Your heart never beaten
(for me)

You were my opera
And I was your phantom
Forever was I bound
To your palace, so beautiful
But you never learned to understand me
Not my pain nor my agony

It was heavenly love I sought for
But I only discovered ruin and emptiness
And now I feel like I am
In love with an angel
But married to a whore
