Lyrics:

Verse:
The air grows cold, the lights grow dim
A ghostly overture begins
The shadows move, a silent waltz
Each step unearths forgotten faults
The velvet drapes, torn black with age
Conceal the scars of the phantom stage
A story lost to time’s cruel play
Yet here it breathes and takes its sway
The first act starts with whispered rage

Chorus:
On the phantom stage, the past takes form
A haunting dance through the eye of the storm
Their voices rise, a spectral choir
Rehearsing grief in flames of desire
The phantom stage, where memories tread
Their fleeting steps on the line of the dead
The echoes fade, yet still remain
Forever bound to this haunting refrain

Verse:
They paint the walls in hues of pain
Their faces marred by tears and stain
Fragments of laughter, brittle and cold
Flicker like embers, stories retold
The audience, a void of despair
Watching the ghosts with vacant stares
The gilded frames begin to crack
A portrait shattered, bleeding black
The second act begins to tear

Chorus:
On the phantom stage, the past takes form
A haunting dance through the eye of the storm
Their voices rise, a spectral choir
Rehearsing grief in flames of desire
The phantom stage, where memories tread
Their fleeting steps on the line of the dead
The echoes fade, yet still remain
Forever bound to this haunting refrain

Verse:
The boards beneath their weight collapse
Each step a fracture, a thunderclap
The chandeliers swing, heavy with dust
Their fragile chains beginning to rust
A scream erupts, the air grows thin
The specter’s gaze reflects within
The mirror shows a face I know
But shattered shards refuse to glow
The final act prepares to spin

Chorus:
On the phantom stage, the past takes form
A haunting dance through the eye of the storm
Their voices rise, a spectral choir
Rehearsing grief in flames of desire
The phantom stage, where memories tread
Their fleeting steps on the line of the dead
The echoes fade, yet still remain
Forever bound to this haunting refrain

Bridge:
The stage dissolves in a fiery haze
The orchestra plays its dissonant phrase
The curtains fall, the phantoms wail
Their voices drown in the echoing gale
All that remains is the dust and the flame

Final Chorus:
On the phantom stage, the past is freed
Its haunting grip no longer feeds
The ghosts dissolve, their cries depart
The final bow, a grieving heart
The phantom stage lies still, erased
No chains remain, no time to waste
A fleeting truth in the fire’s cage
Forever lost on the phantom stage
