Fountain Of Salmacis - Steve Hackett[00:00:00]

From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood[00:01:25]

Mount Ida rises like an island[00:01:29]

Within a hidden cave nymphs had kept a child[00:01:33]

Hermaphroditus son of Gods[00:01:39]

So afraid of their love[00:01:42]

As the dawn creeps up the sky[00:01:48]

The hunter caught sight of a doe[00:01:52]

In desire for conquest[00:01:56]

He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before[00:02:01]

Where are you my father[00:02:07]

Give wisdom to your son[00:02:11]

And as his strength began to fail[00:02:15]

He saw a shimmering lake[00:02:18]

A shadow in the dark green depths[00:02:24]

Disturbed the strange tranquility[00:02:28]

The waters are disturbed[00:02:34]

Naiad queen Salmacis has been stirred[00:02:38]

As he rushed to quench his thirst[00:03:17]

A fountain spring appeared before him[00:03:21]

And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist[00:03:25]

A liquid voice called son of Gods drink from my spring[00:03:31]

The water tasted strangely sweet[00:03:40]

Behind him the voice called again[00:03:44]

He turned and saw her in a cloak of mist alone[00:03:47]

And as he gazed[00:03:53]

Her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake[00:03:54]

We shall be one[00:03:59]

We shall be joined as one[00:04:03]

Away from me cold blooded woman[00:05:33]

Your thirst is not mine[00:05:35]

Unearthly calm ascended from the sky[00:06:18]

And then their flesh and bones were strangely merged[00:06:28]

Forever to be joined as one[00:06:34]

One fade[00:06:39]

The creature crawled into the lake[00:07:50]

A fading voice was heard[00:07:52]

And I beg yes I beg that all who touch this spring[00:07:58]

May share my fate[00:08:03]

We are the one[00:08:09]

Demi God and nymph are now made one[00:08:12]

Both had given everything they had[00:08:21]

A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last[00:08:32]

Forever still beneath the lake[00:08:39]
