Once a while When your sorrows have a name And day is dark as night There's no remorse and no redemption Close the door, can you hear the crowd is waiting For the last encore Screaming out for my attention Chanting my name Welcome all To curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Like a crescendo of gratitude This is my song Like the dead I am on the other side They're howling in my head There's no remorse and no redemption Hush my dear Let the music fill the night And soon it's all we hear Screaming out for my attention Chanting my name Chanting my name Welcome all To curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Like a crescendo of gratitude Don't wake me until it's over I, I may be dreaming away Chanting my name Chanting my name Welcome all To curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Welcome all To curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra
