Born With A Monstrous Countenance
The Persian.

"Mentre gonfiarsi l'anima" from Attila by Giuseppe Verdi (First produced at the Fenice, Venice, 1846)

THE PERSIAN:
Born with a monstrous contenance,
No flesh on his face, his skull peeled white.
A freak with the voice of an angel,
Yet when he sang we fled from the sight.

And so he masked himself,
And travelled,
A nightly apparition,
Till dealing death in Persia,
Became his sole ambition.

One day the Sultan seized him,
I fought to save his head,
This kindness so displeased him,
He left me there for dead.

Fifteen years I''ve tracked him,
And while I could find no trace,
The Phantom was in the Opera house,
Building a secret place.

His private domain of darkness,
Where all who saw him perished,
Close to his world of music,
The singing that he cherished,
Safe but for one thing...

A young girl called Christine Daae,
Sings and creates a pretty stir...

(Raoul moves towards The Persian)

He loses his heart and sees a way,
He can pretend to be her Angel of Music,
Until the day that he posesses her,
Now he posesses her...


The Phantom of the Opera,
Posesses her.
