The Point Of No Return

Andrew Lloyd Webber

PHANTOM:
Passarino - go away!
For the trap is set and waits for its prey ...

You have come here
in pursuit of your deepest urge,
in pursuit of that wish,
which till now
has been silent,
silent...

I have brought you,
that our passions may fuse and merge.
In your mind you've already succumbed to me
dropped all defences completely succumbed to me.

Now you are here with me,
no second thoughts,
you've decided,
decided...

Past the point of no return,
no backward glances
Our games of make believe
are at an end...

Past all thought of "if" or "when"
no use resisting.
Abandon thought,
and let the dream
descend...

What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before
us . . .?

Past the point of no return,
the final threshold,
what warm, unspoken secrets
will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return...

CHRISTINE:
You have brought me
to that moment where words run dry,
to that moment 
where speech
disappears
into silence,
silence . . .

I have come here,
hardly knowing the reason why...
In my mind, I've already imagined our
bodies entwining defenceless and silent...

And now I am here with you:
no second thoughts,
I've decided,
decided...

Past the point of no return -
no going back now.
Our passion-play
has now, at last,
begun...

Past all thought of right or wrong
one final question:
How long should we
two wait, before
we're one...?

When will the bloodbegin to race
the sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume
us...?

BOTH:
Past the point of no return
the final threshold -
the bridge is crossed, so stand
and watch it burn...
We've passed the point of no return...

PHANTOM:
Say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime...
Lead me, save me
from my solitude...
Say you want me with you here,
beside you
Anyway you go let me go too
Christine,
That's all I ask of...
