Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Point of No Return (/Chandelier Crash) lyrics

[Original Edition only:] [PHANTOM as Don Juan (behind the curtain)] Pa**arino—go away for the trap is set And waits for its prey [Pa**arino leaves. Christine (Aminta) enters. She takes off her cloak and sits down. Looks about her. No one. She starts on an apple. The Phantom, disguised as Don Juan pretending to be Pa**arino, emerges. He now wears pa**arino's robe, the cowl of which hides his face. His first words startle her.] [PHANTOM as Don Juan] 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 our pa**ions may fuse and merge In your mind you've already succumbed to me Dropped all defences, completely succumbed to me Now you are here with me No second thoughts, you've decided Decided [Original & Special Editions:] 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 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 pa**ion-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 pa**ed the point of no return [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— [Instrumental interlude] (spoken) [CARLOTTA] Oh my God! Piangi, my love! [MONSIEUR FIRMIN] Oh my god. We're ruined André—ruined! [RAOUL] Where did he take her? [MADAME GIRY] Come with me monsieur, I will take you to him. But remember, keep your hand at the level of your eyes! [MEG] I'll come with you! [GIRY] No Meg, no. You must stay here! Come with me monsieur, do as I say [MEG] No!
