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 our passions 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...
Past the point of no return -
No backward glances
Or 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 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
Defenseless 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...
