《Fountain Of Salmacis》歌词

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

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

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

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

[00:01:39] Hermaphroditus son of Gods

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

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

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

[00:01:56] In desire for conquest

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:28] Disturbed the strange tranquility

[00:02:34] The waters are disturbed

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:53] And as he gazed

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

[00:03:59] We shall be one

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:06:39] One fade

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

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

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

[00:08:03] May share my fate

[00:08:09] We are the one

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

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

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

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