The Point of No Return Lyrics by Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum

The Phantom of the Opera (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2004

[PHANTOM AS DON JUAN]
Passarino
Go away, for the trap is set and waits for its prey
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
Our games of make-bеlieve are at an еnd
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
Defenceless 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?
[PHANTOM AS DON JUAN & CHRISTINE AS AMINTA]
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—
[CHRISTINE removes the PHANTOM's mask. He pushes a lever which opens a trapdoor in the stage into which they fall. The chandelier hanging above the audience comes crashing down, starting a fire in the theatre. CARLOTTA discovers PIANGI's body.]
[CARLOTTA, spoken]
Oh my God! Piangi, my love!
[FIRMIN, spoken]
Oh my god
We're ruined, André, ruined!
[RAOUL, spoken]
Where did he take her?
[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
Come with me, monsieur, I will take you to him
But remember, keep your hand at the level of your eyes
[MEG, spoken]
I'll come with you!
[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
No, Meg, no, you must stay here
Come with me, monsieur, do as I say
[MEG tries to stop the crowd heading in their direction.]
[MEG, spoken]
No!
