Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go wait for the trap
It is set and waits for its prey
You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now
Has been silent
Silent
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Now you are here with me
No second thoughts
You've decided
Decided
[Verse 4]
Past the point of no return
No backwards glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end
Past all thought of if or when
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
[Verse 5]
What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us?
[Verse 6]
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return
[Verse 7]
You have brought me
To that moment when words run dry
To that moment when speech disappears
Into silence
Silence
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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?
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
[Verse 12]
Say you want me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go, too
Christine, that's all I ask of
