lyrics:
point of no return
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 that may fuse and merge
In your mind you’ve already succumbed to me
Drop all defences
Completely succumb 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 are at an end
Past a thought of “if” or “when”
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
What raging fires 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 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
Defenceless 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
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

lyrics:
music of the night
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation.
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness that you know you cannot fight
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
