If you sing tonight, regret will poison your heart

When you begin to sing, a misfortune worse than death

From box five

The owners watched

Carlotta’s voice once serene, now reduced to a shriek

Erik’s voice they heard, right there in box five

With the way she sings tonight, the chandelier won’t hold for long

Down it came

And smashed ones skull

In box five the owners wept, Erik’s work was done
