Lyrics The Fountain of Salmacis

From a dense forest of tall, dark pinewood

Mount Ida rises like an island

Within a hidden cave nymphs had kept a child

Hermaphroditus

Son of Gods

So afraid of their love

As the dawn creeps up the sky the hunter caught sight of a doe oh

In desire for conquest

He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before

Where are you my father

Give wisdom to your son

And as his strength began to fail he saw a shimmering lake

A shadow in the dark green depths disturbed the strange tranquility

The waters are disturbed

Some creature has been stirred

As he rushed to quench his thirst a fountain spring appeared before him

And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist

A liquid voice called

Son of Gods

Drink from my spring

The water tasted strangely sweet

Behind him the voice called again

He turned and saw her in a cloak of mist alone

And as he gazed her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake

We shall be one

We shall be joined as one

Away from me cold-blooded woman

Your thirst is not mine

Nothing will cause us to part

Hear me O Gods

Unearthly calm descended from the sky

And then their flesh and bones were strangely merged

Forever to be joined as one

The creature crawled into the lake

A fading voice was heard

And I beg

Yes I beg that all who touch this spring may share my fate

We are the one

Both had given everything they had

A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last

Forever still beneath the lake
