Hybrid of the Opera: Music of the Night

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night...


Wow, I can't believe I'm finally finished with this piece.  Ugh, it took all day to do! I had some problems with it due to me making a mistake that took some work to fix, but at last I managed to do it! ^^
As you can see this is a sort of famous moment from the Phantom of the Opera (and the pose is also iconic for all you musical fans out there) and I took it upon myself to make my own.
I had a lot of fun making this, and I think it's one my favorites that I've done. 

EDIT: Here's a link to the song btw: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5dhyi…

I hope you like it!
