Phantom of the Opera (Iron Maiden cover) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been looking so long for you now
You won't get away from my grasp
I've been living so long in hiding
And hiding behind that false mask
And I know that you know that I ain't got that long to last
My looks and my feelings are just the remains of my past

[Verse 2]
I'm standing in the wings
There I wait for the curtain to fall
And knowing the terror and holding I have on you all
Now, you know that I'm gonna scratch you and maim you and maul
And you know you're helpless from my mesmerizing cat call
Ooh

[Bridge]
Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait
Don't you stray, don't fade away, yeah
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way, yeah

[Verse 3]
You're running and hiding in dreams, I'm always there
I'm the Phantom of the Opera
I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare
I damaged your mind and your soul, it just floats through the air
I haunt you, I taunt you
I torture you back at my lair
