DON (PHANTOM)
You have come in pursuit of
deepest urge, in pursuit of
that wish, till now
has been silent, . . .

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

Past the point of no -
no glances:
the games of believe
are at an end . . .

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

What fire shall flood the soul?
rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction before us . . .?
the point of no return,
the final threshold, warm,
secrets will we learn?
Beyond the
of no . . .

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

I have here, hardly knowing
the why . . .
In my mind, already
our bodies entwining
defenseless and -
and now I am here with
no second thoughts, decided,
. . .

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

Past all thought of right or -
one question:
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 point of no
the threshold, the bridge
is crossed, so and watch it burn . . .

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

Say you'll share me one
love, one . . .
Lead me, save me from my . . .
(He takes from his finger a and holds it out to her.
Slowly she it and puts it on her finger.)
Say you want me you,
beside you . . .
you go let me go too,
that's all I ask of . . .
(We never reach the word 'you', for quite calmly reveals the PHANTOM'S face to the audience. As
the FORCES OF LAW close in on the skull,
the PHANTOM sweeps his around her and vanishes. MEG pulls the curtain upstage, revealing PIANGI'S
body garotted, against the bed, his head gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams.)
