1988

I like all metal but there's a very specific kind of hyper-theatrical subgenre that I absolutely LOVE and I'm just now realizing that it only started popping up after Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera became a cultural phenomenon in 86-87. I need to research this some more but I think I'm onto something.

She awakens from a dream to a silent room where shadows speak of memories Another sleepless night afraid to face the day

It seems so long ago she shared the love she feels so deep inside Her love will never die but still she feels so lonely… Lonely in Love

She wakes up to another day with everything going wrong She wonders where she would be if she had ever seen his face

She turns on the radio but it's playing that same old song She's pouring another drink to drown away the memory of it all

She can't wait another night Take another day She doesn't want to be

Lonely in Love

There's a feeling she can't explain that no one can understand She just needs to get away but there's nowhere that she can go Tomorrow's so far away She's longing for yesterday If she could just turn back time She wants to leave the world behind

She can't wait another night Take another day She doesn't want to be Lonely in Love

The night will fade, the sun will shine a new day And light the way for you to find New Love
