The story:

When a famous musician is on his deathbed, he tells his daughter Christine that he will send an angel of music to look after her. The girl grows up and joins the chorus at the Paris Opera House, which is said to be haunted by a phantom. While at work, Christine is hearing a voice teaching her to sing and she believes it to be the promised angel, when in fact it belongs to a disfigured opera fanatic living in the cellars of the opera. Christine becomes a talented singer but trouble arises when she meets her childhood sweetheart Raoul and falls in love with him. The jealous phantom kidnaps Christine and threatens to kill Raoul. To save her boyfriend, Christine agrees to marry the phantom and even kisses him. The phantom, who never before has experienced love, relents and lets Christine and Raoul go. It is later revealed that the phantom has died while the lovers mysteriously have disappeared.

The song, by Nightwish:

[CHRISTINE:]

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 here - 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

[PHANTOM:]

It's me they hear

[TOGETHER:]

Your spirit and my voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there

[PHANTOM:]

Inside your mind

[CHRISTINE:]

Inside my mind

[CHRISTINE:]

Opera- Beware - Phantom of the opera

[PHANTOM:]

In all your fantasies
You always knew - That man and mystery

[CHRISTINE:]

Were both in you

[TOGETHER:]

And in this labyrinth - Where night is blind
The phantom of the opera is there –

[PHANTOM:]

Inside your mind

[CHRISTINE:]

Inside my mind

[PHANTOM:]

Sing my angel of music
