Lyrics The Lamia (New Stereo Mix) - Genesis
The
scent
grows
richer,
he
knows
he
must
be
near
He
finds
a
long
passageway
lit
by
chandelier
Each
step
he
takes,
the
perfumes
change
From
familiar
fragrance
to
flavours
strange
A
magnificent
chamber
meets
his
eye
Inside,
a
long
rose-water
pool
is
shrouded
by
fine
mist
Stepping
in
the
moist
silence,
with
a
warm
breeze
he's
gently
kissed
Thinking
he
is
quite
alone
He
enters
the
room,
as
if
it
were
his
own
But
ripples
on
the
sweet
pink
water
Reveal
some
company
unthought
of
Rael
stands
astonished
doubting
his
sight
Struck
by
beauty,
gripped
in
fright
Three
vermilion
snakes
of
female
face
The
smallest
motion,
filled
with
grace
Muted
melodies
fill
the
echoing
hall
But
there
is
no
sign
of
warning
in
the
siren's
call
"Rael
welcome,
we
are
the
Lamia
of
the
pool
We
have
been
waiting
for
our
waters
to
bring
you
cool"
Putting
fear
beside
him,
he
trusts
in
beauty
blind
He
slips
into
the
nectar,
leaving
his
shredded
clothes
behind
"With
their
tongues,
they
test,
taste
and
judge
all
that
is
mine
They
move
in
a
series
of
caresses
That
glide
up
and
down
my
spine
As
they
nibble
the
fruit
of
my
flesh,
I
feel
no
pain
Only
a
magic
that
a
name
would
stain
With
the
first
drop
of
my
blood
in
their
veins
Their
faces
are
convulsed
in
mortal
pains
The
fairest
cries,
"We
all
have
loved
you
Rael"
Each
empty
snakelike
body
floats
Silent
sorrow
in
empty
boats
A
sickly
sourness
fills
the
room
The
bitter
harvest
of
a
dying
bloom
Looking
for
motion
I
know
I
will
not
find
I
stroke
the
curls
now
turning
pale,
in
which
I'd
lain
entwined
"O
Lamia,
your
flesh
that
remains
I
will
take
as
my
food"
It
is
the
scent
of
garlic
that
lingers
on
my
chocolate
fingers
Looking
behind
me,
the
water
turns
icy
blue
The
lights
are
dimmed
and
once
again
the
stage
is
set
for
you
