Luyện nghe bài hát The Point Of No Return

DON JUAN (PHANTOM - the curtain)
- Go away!
For the trap is set and for its prey . . .
(PASSARINO leaves. (AMINTA) enters. She
takes off her cloak and down. Looks about her. No-
one. She starts on an apple. The PHANTOM, as
DON pretending to
be PASSARINO, emerges. He now PASSARINO's
robe, the cowl of which his face. His first words
her)
DON (PHANTOM)
You have come in pursuit of
your urge, in pursuit of
that wish, till now
has been silent, . . .

I brought you, that our passions
may fuse and merge, in your
you've already to me
dropped all defences completely succumbed to me, now you are here me:
no second thoughts, decided,
. . .

Past the of no return -
no backward
the games of believe
are at an end . . .

the point of "if" or "when" -
no use
thought,
and let the dream . . .

raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its
What sweet seduction lies us . . .?
the point of no return,
the threshold, what warm,
unspoken will we learn?
Beyond the
of no . . .

(CHRISTINE)
You have brought me to moment
where words run dry, to moment
speech disappears into silence,
. . .

I have come here, knowing
the why . . .
In my mind, already
imagined our bodies
and silent -
and now I am here with
no thoughts, I've decided,
. . .

Past the of no return
no back now:
our has now, at last,
. . .

Past all thought of right or -
one final
how should we two wait, before
one . . .?

When will the blood begin to
the sleeping bud burst bloom?
When the flames, at last, consume
us . . .?

Past the of no return
the threshold, the bridge
is crossed, so stand and watch it . . .

We've passed the of no return . . .
(By now the audience and the POLICE have realized that SIGNOR is dead behind the curtain, and it is
the PHANTOM who sings in his place. CHRISTINE knows it too. As confirmation, the PHANTOM sings):

Say share with me one
love, one . . .
Lead me, save me from my . . .
(He takes his finger a ring and holds it out to her.
Slowly she takes it and it on her finger.)
Say you me with you,
here you . . .
you go let me go too,
Christine all I ask of . . .
(We never the word 'you', for CHRISTINE quite calmly reveals the PHANTOM'S face to the audience. As
the OF LAW close in on the horrifying skull,
the PHANTOM sweeps his cloak around her and vanishes. MEG pulls the curtain upstage, PIANGI'S
body garotted, propped against the bed, his head gruesomely to one side. She screams.)
