Iron Maiden - Phantom Of The Opera Lyrics






I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past

You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call

Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait
Don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may
Don't you stray, from the narrow way

I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air
You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair

    All 3.2 k dislikes were probably from bruce

  16. W.... ....

    Even without Bruce this song kicks major ass!

    W.... ....

    what is bruce?

  17. A.... L....

    The first two albums are flawless. No bad or so-so songs.

    A.... L....

    Alan Lloyd agreed. Paul is definitely my favorite out of the three maiden singers.

  18. L.... G....

    Jueves 14:50 de 02-01-2020, colocando este temón en la of., antes de salir a terreno, aquí en Chile desierto de Atacama.

    L.... G....

    Que chido

  19. J.... A....

    That bass line..FFS. People talk about Cliff Burton....Steve Harris had some chops and was grossly underrated.

    J.... A....

    Steve was always #1 or at near the top of every guitar mag reader poll back & year end awards back in the mid to late 80's. The term "Lead bass" was coined because of Steve's dominant melodic lines & harmonies. Hard to believe that's the same blue bass he's been playing for decades. He keeps getting it sprayed every so often.

  20. o.... j....

    Kocham Anię 😘

  21. T.... N....

    This makes me cry out loud.😞

  22. J.... ....

    That’s some Geddy-like bass right there.

  23. T.... ....

    S.... 0....

    S.... 0....

    I always break out my broom 🤘❤

  32. A.... L....

    WTF?!?! What that at the end !!?? Awesome isolated vocal !!

  33. C.... I....

    2:49 - 6:37 One of the best if not THE best Instrumental parts of iron maiden /m\

    C.... I....

    literally the next song after this one begs to differ

    C.... I....

    @whaaa.. You mean Transilvania? It's awesome, but also quite repetitive :)

    C.... I....

    agree to disagree, literally the best metal instrumental out there is transylvania

  34. D.... G....

    legal
    bem dahora

  35. M.... H....

    It always weirded me out that at 3:27 sounds exactly like midi music...years before midi music was invented. :/

  36. G.... T....

    Best song ❤❤❤❤❤

  37. I.... ....

    Why does he look like he just stuck his dick into an electrical socket?

  38. V.... ....

    I remember i traded disc 2 of best of the beast with a friend of mine for this album i liked this better. I used to think Bruce sounded like a opera singer and I liked Paul cause he sounds tougher and probably been in a real brawl or two. Early Maiden arguably didn't achieve success because of this. I like the raw material seems more real to me. More honest i don't know alot of people would disagree but they just prefer the opera and I prefer a street fight.

  39. A.... 8....

    Né gol prata

  40. V.... R....

    Sempre achei que a voz do Bruce estava nessa música, até que eu descobri que tinham outros vocalistas 🤦‍♂️

    V.... R....

    Não é o Bruce, é o Paul di'Anno

    V.... R....

    @The HeroCl eu sei, faz tempo, mas antigamente eu achava que era o Bruce com uma voz estranha

  41. A.... 8....

    Já tô aqui pra deixar a prefeitura feliz 😁

  42. T.... L....

    Nunca mais o Maiden atingiria esse nivel novamente. Aos fãs da fase Bruce, só tenho a lamentar

  43. S.... B....

    Anyone remember the lucozade advert from the 1980's ?.

    S.... B....

    Daley thompson

  44. M.... F....

    yo soy Mexican pero esta rola esta con madres

  45. E.... S....

    The best song ever!

  46. C.... O....

    I preferred punk Maiden to opera Maiden.

  47. M.... C....

    One of their best composed songs

  48. L.... S....

    Simply the best.

  49. L.... M....

    The middle eastern pentatonic @ 5:19 gives me chills.

  50. z.... t....

    Eddyz Lookin Haggard Here.
    Needs a lil metal

  51. M.... M....

    bu efsaneydi atık metallica'yı bırakıyorum hep burdayım

    M.... M....

    metallica çöp zaten kanka megadeth slayer iron maiden judas priest ve en önemlisi dio dinle

  52. I.... M....

    Your hands are all tied now, you won't get away from my grasp, You know you keep on falling and fallen behind that false mask.

  53. M.... L....

    Fucking awsome! Remembre the time I bought this album!

  54. G.... i....

    My phone dropped 6% in charge just playing one song.

  55. S.... M....

    Di anno el mejor para mi el mejor lp

  56. A.... T....

    May be one of the best guitar/bass piece

  57. C.... ....

    Unfknbelievable

  58. Z.... S....

    3:33

    You can hear a slight mistake in the guitarist's playing, this shows that this music was REAL. They all played in a room together with mics all set up. Love this era of music, tho I wasn't wishing I was born then, not a "wrong generation" kid.

  59. C.... R....

    Thanks God, my uncle bought me this album and killers for my birthday in 1990, i remember most of family face was like "hey freaky Uncle why are you offering this shit to a 9 years old kid ?". At that time i didn't realize how my uncle rocks, this change me forever:)

  60. L.... F....

    Che bello ero un ragazzetto quando comprai questo CD

  61. H.... ....

    I'm gonna attempt to make a sync doomfist montage with this
    Pay attention to my channel if you ever wanna see cos i will do it

  62. A.... M....

    A absolute belter of a track.

  63. B.... S....

    2:50 goes hard

  64. A.... L....

    I’ve been conducting an experiment today by listening to Maiden songs in 1.5, to see how they would have been as a punk band. Turns out this one is a little overkill:D

  65. N.... ....

    I don't give a tiny rat's ass what anyone says...Maiden's 1st two albums were the best they ever sounded...Paul Dianno BEATS Bruce Dickinson.
    Not that Maiden Dickinson wasn't awesome, they were...but Maiden Dianno was better.

    N.... ....

    Your opinion, and I think you are in minority

  66. J.... G....

    Wtf happened to Edie, he looks like a crackhead

  67. V.... C....

    how come noone is making music like this anymore?? WTF

  68. D.... T....

    Dog:au au
    Cat:miau miau
    Retardado: 2019

  69. T.... S....

    no intro is better than this intro

  70. J.... M....

    I had Eddie 's photo on my phone, my grandma saw it... I was in the church for more than 2 hours!

    J.... M....

    what a terrible experience

  71. D.... R....

    This is one of my favorite iron maiden song s

  72. I.... 1....

    I grew up to Iron Maiden & Metallica. Those were the days.

    I.... 1....

    You just don't get great bands nowadays.....its all about crappy singers like katy Perry & justin bieber it's so disappointing what music has come to

  73. �.... �....

    Легендарно!

  74. c.... ....

    I never noticed the part at 7:15
    Or is this a kind of extended version?

  75. e.... ....

    THIS is real music

  76. N.... A....

    A Master Piece Any Time...Any Where..

  77. J.... M....

  78. R.... C....

    pora oia koty guasu ojejapova mba'epu porã

  79. F.... A....

    Nmms, que pinche rola !!🔥🤘🏻

    F.... A....

    Taco, senor, gracias corona uno terra planista. Nur Para todos. Iru Landucci Argentina.👍

  80. K.... H....

    A time when METAL spoke in words not some guy howling like he has lost his mind !!!

  81. K.... M....

    I may have been a metal header at one time thru the blurred haze of my drink and drug fuelled youth...now am scitzoid and bipolar but am still dancin with the devil all these years on through the medium of class a! Don't be afraid of hell, it only exists in vindictive people's minds!

  82. n.... D....

    The original and the start of metal after motorhead of course mmmmmm

  83. g.... ....

    I bought Iron Maiden first album with money I stole from the middle school library lady on charge, in 1983. I was 13 years old. My dad thought I stole money from him, and beat me.

  84. z.... ....

  89. R.... A....
