What I Could Have Been
Performed by Erik
From the moment I first saw light,
I've been feared and shunned by man
I never got my chance
To do everything I know I can,
My soul is plagued by the venom of hate
Nobody ever saw that with my mind and my skills,
I could have been great...
If only they could understand,
If only they could see
If they had only dared to try
And find the real me,
But love is a prize I know I'll never win...
I'm haunted by dreams of what I could have been.
Ever since the day I was born,
A mask has hidden my true face
My long, sad life has taught me
Not to trust the human race
But like the ghost I am, I've had to hide,
Disappear, and nobody could see
Who I was inside...
If only they could understand,
If only they could see
If they had only dared to try
And find the real me,
But thanks to God's "mercy," I have lived in sin,
And I'm haunted by dreams of what I could have been...
Nobody could ever see the man within...
I'm haunted by dreams of what I could have been.

SyioandthePhantom
Song Name: Se me here.
Sung by: Parts by Erik and Christine.
Song is sung in French or English depending.
Erik:
Comme mon sang ruisselle le long des murs, attrape la goutte avant qu'il tombe,
Essayez de se souvenir des bons temps avec moi; Je sais que vous aimiez le chemin j'étais,
Ainsi fermez vos yeux et retenez votre souffle, essayez d'oublier ma mort solitaire
Maintenant courez de la lumière et dans la nuit
C'est temps pour être seul, je suis maintenant Ã* la maison,
Je vole maintenant sur plaines de herbe; c'est temps pour aller je ne sais pas comme,
Christine:
Je pleure encore le vent emporte ma voix, je meurs aujourd'hui.
Je souhaite vous laisser savoir, je vous aimais donc.
Je souhaite que je puisse vous entendre; Je Sais les peurs mondiales vous,
Je ne me soucie pas que votre visage est gâté, je vous aime seulement le chemin que vous êtes,
Erik and Christine together:
S'il vous plaît attendez et voyez, je sais cela qui
English
Erik:
As my blood drips down the walls, catch the drip before it falls,
Try to remember the good times with me; I know you loved the way I used to be,
So close your eyes and hold your breath, try to forget my lonely death
Now run from the light and into the night
It's time to be alone, I am now home,
I fly over grassy plains now; it's time to go I don't know how,
I cry yet the wind takes my voice away, I die today.
I wish to let you know, I loved you so.
Christine:
I wish that I could hear you; I know the world fears you,
I care not that your face is marred, I like you the way you are,
Please wait and see, I know just what you think of me,
I believe love comes first; yours is going to make my heart burst,
I understand we will reach the sky, But please don't leave me please don't die,
Erik and Christine together:
I want the world to know, I will never let you go

3rd Prize - 25 Roses
Night feather
Sung by Christine to Erik
Your musicÂ’s playing on
Inside my head
Burning bright
The music never leaves
From my mind
From my dreams
The memories grow old
But never leaves
Never leaves
The music form the ape
Still haunting me
Haunting me
The sight of you face
As you cry
Are burned into my mind
If you ever loved
And I loved you back
Then please take me away
From all of my pain
If you heard my song
Calling for you
Would you come back?
To let us lead
The life we never had
The memories of my past
Never fades
Never fades
Bittersweet Goodbye
Is all I have
All I have
The sound of your voice
As you sung
Steals tears from my eyes
If there is a chance
That youÂ’ll learn to forgive
The feelings that I caused
Sealing your fate
If you hold me tight
And whisper of nights
Then I will stay
To the world reaches itÂ’s end
To seek solace in you
