The Lamia - Steve Hackett[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[00:00:16]

The perfumes change[00:00:17]

From familiar fragrance[00:00:19]

To flavors strange[00:00:21]

A magnificent chamber[00:00:24]

Meets his eye[00:00:27]

Inside a long rose water pool[00:00:40]

Is shrouded in fine mist[00:00:43]

Stepping in the moist silence[00:00:47]

With a warm breeze he's gently kissed[00:00:50]

Thinking he is quite alone[00:00:55]

He enters the room as if it were his own[00:00:58]

But ripples on the sweet pink water[00:01:02]

Reveal some company unthought of[00:01:06]

Rael stands astonished[00:01:11]

Doubting his sight[00:01:13]

Struck by beauty[00:01:15]

Gripped in fright[00:01:17]

Three vermilion snakes[00:01:20]

Of female face[00:01:22]

The smallest motion[00:01:25]

Filled with grace[00:01:27]

Muted melodies[00:01:30]

Fill the echoing hall[00:01:31]

But there is no sign of warning[00:01:37]

In the siren's call[00:01:41]

Rael welcome[00:01:47]

We are the Lamia of the pool[00:01:49]

We have been waiting[00:01:55]

For our waters to bring you cool[00:01:57]

Putting fear beside him[00:02:46]

He trusts in beauty blind[00:02:49]

He slips into the nectar[00:02:53]

Leaving his shredded clothes behind[00:02:56]

With their tongues[00:03:01]

They test taste and judge all that is mine[00:03:02]

They move in a series of caresses[00:03:09]

That glide up and down my spine[00:03:12]

As they nibble the fruit of my flesh[00:03:25]

I feel no pain[00:03:28]

Only a magic[00:03:32]

That a name would stain[00:03:36]

With the first drop[00:03:40]

Of my blood in their veins[00:03:41]

Their faces are convulsed[00:03:44]

In mortal pains[00:03:46]

The fairest cries[00:03:47]

We all[00:03:49]

Have loved you Rael[00:03:50]

Each empty snakelike body floats[00:03:56]

Silent sorrow in empty boats[00:04:00]

A sickly sourness fills the room[00:04:06]

The bitter harvest of a dying bloom[00:04:10]

Looking for motion[00:04:15]

I know I will not find[00:04:16]

I stroke the curls now turning pale[00:04:22]

In which I'd lain entwined[00:04:26]

Oh Lamia your flesh that remains[00:04:32]

I can take as my food[00:04:36]

It is the scent of garlic that lingers[00:04:40]

On my chocolate fingers[00:04:44]

Looking behind me[00:05:31]

The water turns icy blue[00:05:34]

The lights are dimmed[00:05:38]

And once again the stage is set for you[00:05:40]
