Genesis - Fountains Of Salmacis songtekst

Je score:

From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood
Mount Ida rises like an islands
Within a hidden cave nymphs had kept a child
Hermaphroditus, son of God

As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe
In desire for conquest
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before

HERMAPHRODITUS:
"Where are you my father
Give wisdom to your son"

NARRATOR:
"Then he could go no farther
Now lost the boy was guided by the sun"

And as his strenght began to fail
He saw a shimmerimg lake
A shadow in the dark green dephts
Disturbed the strange tranquillity

SALAMCIS:
"The waters are disturbed
Some creature has been stirred"

NARRATOR:
"The water are disturbed the naiad queen Salmacis has been stirred"

As he rushed to quench his thirst
A fountain spring appeared before him
And as his heated breath rushed 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

SALMACIS:
"We shall be as one
We shall be joined as one"

NARRATOR:
"She wanted them as one
Yet he had no desire to be one"

HERMAPHRODITUS:
"Away from me cold-blooded woman
Your thirst is not mine"

SALMACIS:
"Nothing will cause us to part
Hear me O Gods"

Unearthly calm descended from the sky
And them 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"

SALAMCIS:
"We are the one
We are the one"

NARRATOR:
"The two are now made one
Demigod and nymph are now made one"

Both had given everything they had
A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last
Forever still beneath the lake.
