Текст песни The Fountain of Salmacis - Genesis
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?
Then
he
could
go
no
further
Give
wisdom
to
your
son
Now
lost,
the
boy
was
guided
by
the
sun
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
The
waters
are
disturbed
Some
creature
has
been
stirred
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
She
wanted
them
as
one
We
shall
be
joined
as
one'
Yet
he
had
no
desire
to
be
one'
Away
from
me,
cold-blooded
woman.
Your
thirst
is
not
mine.
Nothing
will
cause
us
to
part.
Hear
me,
O
Gods!"
Unearthly
calm
ascended
from
the
sky
And
then
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.
We
are
the
one
The
two
are
now
made
one,
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
