Actually, there are a TON of references to the musical "Phantom of the Opera" in this song. "Silently the senses abandon all defenses" is a direct quote from the song "Music of the Night" from that musical. Unending Masquerade is a play on another song from the story...The feeling is that Christine is singing the words "I dare to enter your ecstasy" and the Phantom replies "In your dreams you're mine..." just like in the Song "Phantom of the Opera/Through the Mirror"
