Video de The Point Of No Return

[PHANTOM as
Don Juan
]
Past the point of no return
No backward glances
The games we 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
[CHRISTINE as Aminta]
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
[By now, the audience and the police have realised 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
[We never reach the word 'you,' for Christine quite calmly reveals the phantom's face to the audience. As the forces of law close in on the
horrifying skull
, the phantom sweeps his cloak around her and vanishes]
[Meg pulls the curtain upstage, revealing Piangi's body, garotted, propped against the bed, his head gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams. Police, stagehands, etc. rush onto the stage in confusion.]
(spoken)
[CARLOTTA]
What is it? What has happened? Ubaldo!
[ANDRE]
Oh my god... My god
[FIRMIN]
We're ruined, André—ruined!
[GIRY (to Raoul)]
Monsieur le Vicomte! Come with me!
[CARLOTTA (rushing over to Piangi's body)]
Oh, my darling, my darling... Who has done this?
(Hysterical, attacking André)
You! Why did you let this happen?
[She breaks down, as Piangi's body is carried off on a stretcher]
[GIRY]
Monsieur le Vicomte, I know where they are!
[RAOUL]
But can I trust you?
[GIRY]
You must. But remember: your hand at the level of your eyes!
[RAOUL]
But why?
[GIRY]
Why? The Punjab Lasso, monsieur. First Buquet, now Piangi
[MEG (holding up her hand)]
Like this, monsieur. I'll come with you
[GIRY]
No, Meg! No, you stay here!
(to Raoul)
Come with me, monsieur. Hurry, or we shall be too late!
