The Lamia (2008 Digital Remaster) - Genesis (创世纪)[00:00:00]
The scent grows richer[00:00:01]
He knows he must be near[00:00:04]
He finds a long passageway[00:00:08]
Lit by chandelier[00:00:11]
Each step he takes[00:00:15]
The perfumes change[00:00:17]
From familiar fragrance[00:00:19]
To flavors strange[00:00:20]
A magnificent chamber[00:00:23]
Meets his eye[00:00:26]
Inside a long rose water pool[00:00:38]
Is shrouded by fine mist[00:00:42]
Stepping in the moist silence[00:00:46]
With a warm breeze he's gently kissed[00:00:49]
Thinking he is quite alone[00:00:54]
He enters the room as if it were his own[00:00:57]
But ripples on the sweet pink water[00:01:01]
Reveal some company unsought of[00:01:05]
Rael stands astonished[00:01:09]
Doubting his sight[00:01:11]
Struck by beauty[00:01:13]
Gripped in fright[00:01:15]
Three vermilion snakes[00:01:18]
Of female face[00:01:20]
The smallest motion[00:01:23]
Filled with grace[00:01:25]
Muted melodies[00:01:28]
Fill the echoing hall[00:01:30]
But there is no sign of warning[00:01:36]
In the siren's call[00:01:40]
Rael welcome[00:01:46]
We are the lamia of the pool[00:01:48]
We have been waiting[00:01:54]
For our waters to bring you cool[00:01:56]
Putting fear beside him[00:02:42]
He trusts in beauty blind[00:02:45]
He slips into the nectar[00:02:49]
Leaving his shredded clothes behind[00:02:52]
With their tongues[00:02:57]
They test taste and judge all that is mine[00:02:58]
They move in a series of caresses[00:03:04]
That glide up and down my spine[00:03:08]
As they nibble the fruit of my flesh[00:03:20]
I feel no pain[00:03:24]
Only a magic[00:03:28]
That a name would stain[00:03:31]
With the first drop[00:03:35]
Of my blood in their veins[00:03:36]
Their faces are convulsed[00:03:38]
In mortal pains[00:03:40]
The fairest cries we all[00:03:42]
Have loved you real[00:03:45]
Each empty snakelike body floats[00:03:51]
Silent sorrow in empty boats[00:03:55]
A sickly sourness fills the room[00:04:01]
The bitter harvest of a dying bloom[00:04:05]
Looking for motion[00:04:10]
I know I will not find[00:04:11]
I stroke the curls now turning pale[00:04:18]
In which I'd lain entwined[00:04:21]
Oh lamia your flesh that remains[00:04:28]
I will take as my food[00:04:31]
It is the scent of garlic that lingers[00:04:35]
On my chocolate fingers[00:04:39]
Looking behind me[00:05:26]
The water turns icy blue[00:05:28]
The lights are dimmed[00:05:32]
And once again the stage is set for you[00:05:34]
