The overture is over and the angel takes the stage
She belts an aria with fairy dust and turns to walk away
The men in the crowd all cheer for more
While the boy in the front row swears he's seen her before

A shot rings out in the auditorium
It echoed off the atrium and through the baroness's lung
The boy in the front row leaps on stage to save her soul
A staged attack, it fades to black, bringing out the opera in us all

The ambulance arrives in time at the scene of the crime
The audience cheers as the young boy's fears all come to life
The monster in the balcony makes his getaway
While the boy with the angel in his arms swears to make the monster pay

A shot rings out in the auditorium
It echoed off the atrium and through the baroness's lung
The boy in the front row leaps on stage to save her soul
A staged attack, it fades to black, bringing out the opera in us all

Bring out your dead, the siren screams a metronome
To the actress's head, you know that it has to be so

The eyes of the beast are gripping at first and then they release
You're under the gun and under attack, there's no going back
And the power of good will compel you

The devil's ears can make out your mood, discover your fears
You're under the gun, it's aimed at your heart, your story is done
And the power of good will compel you

I will divide you
I will destroy you
I will make you feel numb
Do you feel numb?
