Luyện nghe bài hát The Point Of No Return

DON (PHANTOM - behind the curtain)
- Go away!
For the trap is set and for its prey . . .
(PASSARINO leaves. (AMINTA) enters. She
off her cloak and sits down. Looks about her. No-
one. She on an apple. The PHANTOM, disguised as
DON pretending to
be PASSARINO, emerges. He now wears
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 brought you, our passions
may fuse and merge, in mind
you've succumbed to me
all defences completely succumbed to me, now you are here with me:
no second thoughts, decided,
. . .

Past the of no return -
no glances:
the games of make
are at an end . . .

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

What raging fire shall the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its
What seduction lies before us . . .?
Past the of no return,
the threshold, what warm,
unspoken secrets we learn?
the point
of no . . .

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

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

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

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

When will the begin to race
the sleeping bud burst into
will 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 and the POLICE have realized that SIGNOR PIANGI is dead behind the curtain, and it is
the PHANTOM who sings in his place. knows it too. As final confirmation, the PHANTOM sings):

Say you'll share me one
love, one . . .
me, save 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 me with 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 PHANTOM'S to the audience. As
the FORCES OF LAW close in on the skull,
the PHANTOM sweeps his cloak her and vanishes. MEG pulls the curtain upstage, revealing PIANGI'S
body garotted, propped against the bed, his gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams.)
