Fountain Of Salmacis - Steve Hackett
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
