Analysis of Like An Opera
It hit him like opera
The foreboding pace
Defined by a kiss
La Boehme was the taste
Angels flew through the ether
Grasping to scrolls
Confronted by the magic
Between skin and soul
The long to feel death
For only then can they know
The feeling of love
Within mortal hold
In your arms were gateways
To passion and pain
They are cut from the robe
Of the Supreme brain
He looks there to find you
For we all return
After our cups are replete
From all that we learned
It hit him lie opera
It ended the same
Defined by a kiss
That tasted like pain.
