The point of no return

PHANTOM
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 your passions may fuse and merge,
In your mind I've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defences
Completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me
No seconds thoughts
You've decided... decided...

Past the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make belive
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 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...
(By now the audience and the POLICE have realized that SIGNOR PIANGI is dead behind the curtain, and it is the PHANTOM who sings in his place. CHRISTINE knows it too. As final confirmation, the PHANTOM sings):

PHANTOM
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
(He takes from his finger a ring and holds it out to her.
Slowly she takes it and 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...
