The Soul of Amfipolis - Konstantinos Papoutsis

Open up your eyes You can see me here Open up your mind I'm calling you here In the heat of the night, I'm calling Listen to the sound, I'm calling to you Can you hear the beating of my heart? It beats for you Burning desire, burning inside Burning desire, flame is alive And I know that it's right In the heat of the night Relationships are hard to find When they all ask to read your mind Reach inside your mind You know what's happening, tell me In the heat of the night, I'm calling Listen to the sound, I'm calling to you Can you hear the beating of my heart? It beats for you Wiping the sweat from my brow Ain't no way I can reach you now I hear you calling, teardrops falling All the pain and love's combined as one We used to have fun But the memories still unwind in my mind Till the end of time, holding you tight, yeah In the heat of the night I'm calling In the heat of the night I'm calling, I'm calling Listen to the sound I'm calling I am your love, your love I'm calling Your love, your love I'm calling

(They embrace and laugh. She moves away and sits at her Dressing table) RAOUL 'Little Lotte let her mind wander...' CHRISTINE You remember that, too... RAOUL (continuing) '...Little Lotte thought: Am I fonder of dolls...' BOTH (CHRISTINE joining in) '...or of goblins, Of shoes...' CHRISTINE '...or of riddles, Of frocks...' RAOUL Those picnics in the attic... '...or of chocolates...' CHRISTINE Father playing the violin... RAOUL As we read to each other dark stories Of the North... CHRISTINE 'No - what I love best, Lotte said, Is when I'm asleep in my bed, And the Angel of Music sings songs in my Head!' BOTH '...the Angel of Music sings songs in my head!' PHANTOM'S VOICE Insolent boy! This slave Of fashion, Basking in your Glory! Ignorant fool! This brave Young suitor, Sharing in my Triumph! CHRISTINE (spellbound) Angel! I hear you! Speak - I listen... Stay by my side, Guide me! Angel, my soul was Weak - Forgive me... Enter at last, Master! PHANTOM'S VOICE Flattering child, You shall know me, See why in shadow I hide! Look at your face In the mirror - I am there Inside! (The figure of the PHANTOM becomes discernible behind the Mirror) CHRISTINE (ecstatic) Angel of Music! Guide And guardian! Grant to me your Glory! Angel of Music! Hide No longer! Come to me, strange Angel... PHANTOM'S VOICE I am your Angel... Come to me: Angel of Music... (CHRISTINE walks towards the glowing, shimmering glass. Meanwhile, RAOUL has returned. He hears the voices and is Puzzled. He tries the door. It's locked) RAOUL Whose is that voice...? Who is that in there...? (Inside the room the mirror opens. Behind it, in an inferno of White light, stands the PHANTOM. He reaches forward and Takes CHRISTINE firmly, but not fiercely, by the wrist. His Touch is cold and CHRISTINE gasps) PHANTOM I am your Angel of Music... Come to me: Angel of Music... (CHRISTINE disappears through the mirror, which closes Behind her. The door of the dressing room suddenly unlocks and Swings open, and RAOUL enters to find the room empty) RAOUL Christine! Angel!
