The Point of No Return

The Point Of No Return — Phantom and Christine
PHANTOM:
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 when words run dry,
To that moment when speech disappears
Into silence,
Silence.
I have come here,
Hardly knowing the reason why.
In my mind I’ve already imagined
Our bodies entwining
Defenseless and silent,
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
