歌曲歌詞
From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood
Mount Ida rises like an island
Within a hidden cave nymphs had kept a child
Hermaphroditus son of Gods
So afraid of their love
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
Where are you my father
Give wisdom to your son
And as his strength began to fail
He saw a shimmering lake
A shadow in the dark green depths
Disturbed the strange tranquility
The waters are disturbed
Naiad queen Salmacis has been stirred
As he rushed to quench his thirst
A fountain spring appeared before him
And as his heated breath brushed 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
We shall be one
We shall be joined as one
Away from me cold blooded woman
Your thirst is not mine
Unearthly calm ascended from the sky
And then their flesh and bones were strangely merged
Forever to be joined as one
One fade
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
We are the one
Demi God 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
