歌曲 | The Fountain Of Salmacis |
歌手 | Genesis |
专辑 | Genesis 1970-1975 |
作词 : Banks, Collins, Gabriel ... | |
From a dense forest of tall dark pine wood | |
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 strengths began to fail | |
He saw a shimmering lake | |
A shadow in the dark green depths | |
Disturbed the strange tranquility | |
The waters are disturbed | |
Some creature 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 | |
Nothing will cause us to part | |
Hear me, oh | |
GodsUnearthly calm descended 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 begThat all who touch this spring may share my fate" | |
We are the one | |
We are the one | |
Both had given everything they had | |
A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last | |
Forever still beneath the lake |
