Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child; Hermaphroditus, son of gods, so afraid of their love. [Verse 2] 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. [Bridge] "Where are you, my father? Give wisdom to your son" [Verse 3] And as his strength began to fail He saw a shimmeriiiiiiing lake. A shadow in the dark green depths Disturbed the strange tranquility. [Bridge] "The waters are disturbed Some creature has been stirred" [Instrumental interlude] | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | [Verse 4] 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". [Verse 5] 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. [Bridge] "We shall be one We shall be joined as one" [Guitar solo] | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [Bass bridge] | / / / / | / / / / | [Flute and guitar solo over chords] | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | [Bridge] "Away from me cold-blooded woman Your thirst is not miiiiiiine" [Guitar solo continuation] | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [Bridge] "Nothing will cause us to part Hear me, O Goooooods" [Guitar solo continuation] | / / / / | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [Verse 6] Unearthly calm descended from the sky (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aaaah, aaaah) And then their flesh and bones were strangely merged Forever to be joined as one. (Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah.)

A fading vooooooooiiiice was heard: "And I beg, yes I beg that all who touch this spring May shaaaaare my fate" [Bridge] "We are the one We are the one" [Verse 8] Both had given everything they had. (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aaaah, aaaah) A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last, Forever still beneath the lake. (Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah.) (Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah.)
