Past the Point of No Return

Song: Past the Point of No Return
Artist: From, The Phantom of the Opera

Back to the musicals! The Phantom of the Opera is a classic, Gothic love story and fantastic musical (I loved the music growing up) that is perfect for Halloween! I'm actually really surprised I've never posted any of the music here before! This song in particular has always stood out as a dramatic, intense and dark piece. I'm going to have to go listen to this album now! I haven't heard any of the music from this musical in years! 



You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent
Silent
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind you've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me, no second thoughts
You've decided, decided

Past the point of no return
No backward glances
The games we've played till now are at an end
Past all thought of if or when
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us

Past the point of no return
The final threshold?
What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn
Beyond the point of no return?

You have brought me
To that moment where words run dry
To that moment where speech disappears into silence
Silence
I have come here
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining, 
Defenseless and silent
And now I am here with you, no second thoughts
I've decided, decided

Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion play has now at last begun
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud bursts into bloom?
When will the flames at last consume us?


Past the point of no return
The final thershold
The bridge is crossed 
So stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return




















Very cool live version with the original Christine (Sarah Brightman) & Phantom (Michael Crawford)!


I watched this version a couple of years ago (for the 25th Anniversary of the musical!) and LOVED it! I think this Christine (Sierra Boggess) is so beautiful and did such an incredible job!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
