Angel of Music

My teacher, my mentor, I love him so
Without him my music would not be the same
My teacher, my mentor, my maestro
The angel of music; he gave me that name 

Without him my music would not be the same
After the fire, ashamed of his face
The angel of music; he gave me that name 
The labyrinth is now his holy place

After the fire, ashamed of his face
He bids me to sing; his rage it’s true
The labyrinth is now his holy place
Raoul how I need you, what can I do

He bids me to sing; his rage it’s true
I know not which, my love or my passion 
Raoul how I need you, what can I do
Maestro taught me to sing in this fashion

I know not which, my love or my passion 
The angel of music, my singing aglow
He shows me such tender loving compassion
My teacher, my mentor, I love him so
