Pass The Point of No Return - The Phantom of the Opera

 

Past the point of no return -
no backward glances,
the games we've played till now 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

[Aminta]
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 blood begin 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


(Now the police and even Christine knows that Piangi is dead and the one onstage is Phantom)

[Phantom]
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude

(Phantom gives a ring from his finger to Christine and she puts it on her finger)

Say you want me with you, here beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too -
Christine, that's all I ask of ...

(Christine sweeps Phantom's face to the audience while Phantom sweeps his cloak towards her and himself and they both vanish)
