The Point of No Return

The point of no return, the long await yet bridged you've already burnt the bridge down

(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 fireshall 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 . . .

i've been told to have past the point of no return, but i was lied to...
Christine! How could you have lied to me?! Why did you bring me up to the sky only to send me crushing into oblivion? WHY?? WHY??!!

(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 . . .
Anywhere you go let me go too,
Christine that's all I ask of . . .


now i live in solitude, all alone save my shadow...
left me for Raol... have i not shown love to you? I've given my life for you
I gave my song to you only to feel anguish to have lost my beloved
