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
Our games of Make Believe come to 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 when words run dry,
To that moment when 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.
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.
