The Point Of No Return - Live At The Royal Albert Hall/2011

Andrew Lloyd Webber

DON JUAN (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:
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 .

AMINTA (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 .

[PHANTOM]
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude

[He takes from his finger a ring and holds it out to her. Slowly, she takes it and puts it on her finger]

Say you want me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of---

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[We never reach the word 'you,' for Christine quite calmly reveals the Phantom's face to the audience. As the forces of law close in on the horrifying skull, the Phantom sweeps his cloak around her and vanishes]

[Meg pulls the curtain upstage, revealing Piangi's body, garotted, propped against the bed, his head gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams. Police, stagehands, etc. rush onto the stage in confusion.]

(spoken)

[CARLOTTA]
What is it? What has happened? Ubaldo!

[ANDRE]
Oh my god… My god

[FIRMIN]
We're ruined, André—ruined!

[GIRY (to Raoul)]
Monsieur le Vicomte! Come with me!
Monsieur le Vicomte, I know where they are!

[RAOUL]
But can I trust you?

[GIRY]
You must. But remember: your hand at the level of your eyes!

[RAOUL]
But why?

[GIRY]
Why? The Punjab Lasso, Monsieur. First Bouquet, now Piangi

[MEG (holding up her hand)]
Like this, Monsieur. I'll come with you

[GIRY]
No, Meg! No, you stay here!

(to Raoul)

Come with me, Monsieur. Hurry, or we shall be too late!
