The Point of No Return / Chandelier Crash

Lyrics

[PHANTOM AS DON JUAN] 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 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!
