This is how the story begins...


[Phantom]
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 . . .


[Christine]
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 defenceless 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 burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us. . .?


[Both]
Past the point of no return the final threshold-
the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn. . .
We've passed the point of no return. . .

and then...

[Phantom]
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. . .
Lead me, save me from my solitude . . .
Say you want me with you, here beside you. . .
Anywhere you go let me go too-
Christine, that's all I ask of . . .






and this is how the story ended.
