The Point of No Return - Chandelier Crash
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
[Aminta]
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
[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 ...
====================
-Think of me-
[Christine]
Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that, once again, you long To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember stop and think of me
Think of all the things we've shared and seen
Don't think about the things which might have been
Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind
Recall those days, look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day, when I won't think of you
[Raoul]
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
What a change
You're really not a bit the gawkish girl that once you were
She may not remember me, but I remember her
[Christine]
We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea
But please promise me that sometimes you will think of me

PHANTOM'S VOICE
Bravi, bravi, bravissimi . . .
(CHRISTINE is bewildered by the voice. MEG,
following, has not heard it. CHRISTINE turns in
surprise, and is relieved to see her)
MEG
Where in the world have you been hiding?
Really, you were perfect!
I only wish I knew your secret!
Who is this new tutor?
CHRISTINE (abstracted, entering the dressing room)
Father once spoke of an angel . . .
I used to dream he'd appear . . .
Now as I sing,
I can sense him . . .
And I know he's here . . .
(trance-like)
Here in this room
he calls me softly . . .
somewhere inside . . .hiding . . .
Somehow I know
he's always with me . . .
he - the unseen genius . . .
MEG (uneasily)
Christine, you must have been dreaming . . .
stories like this can't come true . . .
Christine, you're talking
in riddles . . .
and it's not like you . . .
CHRISTINE (not hearing her)
