Luyện nghe bài hát The Point Of No Return

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

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

Past the point of no -
no backward
the games of make
are at an end . . .

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

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

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

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

Past the point of no
no going back
our has now, at last,
. . .

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

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

Past the of no return
the final threshold, the
is crossed, so stand and it burn . . .

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

Say you'll share me one
love, one . . .
Lead me, me from my solitude . . .
(He takes from his a ring 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,
Christine all I ask of . . .
(We never reach the word 'you', for CHRISTINE quite calmly reveals the face to the audience. As
the FORCES OF LAW close in on the skull,
the PHANTOM sweeps his cloak around her and vanishes. MEG pulls the curtain upstage, PIANGI'S
garotted, propped against the bed, his head gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams.)
