Phantom of the Opera Lyrics - Iron Maiden
Review The Song (4)
I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.
You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call.
Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.
I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.
You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call.
Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.
I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.

Great song | Reviewer: Easy | 7/25/12
This is a very very good song, my personal favorite song of all time, both lyrically and instrumentally. Although all the versions I've heard of this song are fantastic (live and studio) when I heard maiden playing this in the tour theyre currently on, maiden england 2012, they played it very differently. They played the song the way it was originally written, but with a slower tempo, and different style of backing vocals. Everyone will see what I mean when the band releases a live album of the tour, which will probably be Rock in Rio 2013

Absolutley Awsome Song.
Lyrics And Adaption Of The Music Into Gituar Riffs Are Amazing.
But, Personaly, I Think The Live Version On Somewhere Back In Time Pawnage's The Album Version. It Has More Of A Grunt To It And The Voice Of The Lead Singer Is Suits It Perfectly
