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 PASSARINO's
robe, the of which hides his face. His first words
her)
DON (PHANTOM)
You have come in pursuit of
deepest urge, in pursuit of
that wish, which now
has silent, silent . . .

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

Past the of no return -
no glances:
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 desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies us . . .?
Past the of no return,
the threshold, what warm,
unspoken will we learn?
the point
of no . . .

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

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

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

Past all thought of right or -
one question:
how long should we two wait,
one . . .?

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

Past the point of no
the threshold, the bridge
is crossed, so stand and it burn . . .

We've passed the point of no . . .
(By now the audience and the POLICE have realized that 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 with me one
love, one . . .
Lead me, save me my solitude . . .
(He from his finger a ring and holds it out to her.
she takes 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 quite calmly reveals the PHANTOM'S 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 upstage, revealing PIANGI'S
body garotted, propped against the bed, his head gruesomely to one side. She screams.)
