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
