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]
