|Em |Bm |
From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood,

Mount Ida rises like an island.
|Em |Bm
Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child;

Hermaphro-ditus, son of gods, so afraid of

And as his strength began to fail. He saw a
shimmering lake.
A shadow in the dark green depths
Disturbed the strange tran-quility.

[Verse A-2] (2:25-)
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
[Verse B-3] (2:42-)
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.
[Chorus 3] (3:07-)
S: We shall be one
(N: She wanted them as one)
S: We shall be joined as one
(N: Yet he had no desire to be one)
