Eberron – Quori and Phantom of the Opera
Ran across something interesting the other day…
My fiancé (also my DM for an Eberron game in which the current storyline is dealing with the PCs thwarting the Inspired), were listening to one of my mix CDs, which contains a techno version of the Phantom of the Opera (the song, not the whole opera). About halfway through, he started laughing. When I asked why, he told me to restart the song and really listen to the lyrics.
I’ve pasted them below for your reading pleasure. (The version that we were listening to only had Christine’s lines – but the Phantom’s seem to work as well.)
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find
The phantom of the opera is there,
Inside my mind
Phantom:
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
to glance behind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind
Christine:
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear (alt lyrics: Inspired are the masks you wear)
Phantom:
It's me they hear
Both:
My/Your spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
inside my/your mind
Phantom:
In all your fantasies you always knew
That man and mystery
Christine:
Were both in you
Both:
And in this labrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the opera is here/there
Christine:
Inside my mind
We were thinking of trying to replace the words “Phantom of the Opera” with something else (“Phantom of the Nightmare” has been considered) and then having a bard sing it in a tavern the party is in next game session, basically as a warning.
I wonder if Keith Baker listens to Phantom.
