A song from Phantom's opera "Don Juan Triumphant". He kills Piangi to sing his part with Christine. This is the most sensual part of the whole musical.
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: The games we've 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 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'm 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…?
B O T H 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…
Then Phantom sings "All I ask of you" theme, giving Christine his ring. She's taking it, knowing who he is. He never finishes the last line, as Christine rips off his mask, revealing an awful skull and disfigured part of Phantom's face. He cries in anger and she cries in fear, then they both disappear. 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…
