[Verse 1]
Em Bm
From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood,
Em F# B
Mount Ida rises like an island.
Em Bm
Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child;
Em F# B Am
Hermaphroditus, son of gods, so afraid of their love.
[Verse 2]
Am9 Am6 Esus4 Em
As the dawn creeps up the sky
Am9 Am6 Esus4
The hunter caught sight of a doe.
Em Am7 Am Esus4 Em
In desire for conquest,
Am7 Am Esus4 Em
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before.
[Bridge]
Gsus4/D G/D
"Where are you, my father?
Gsus4/D C/D D
Give wisdom to your son"
[Verse 3]
Am9 Am6 Esus4
And as his strength began to fail
Em Am9 Am6 Esus4 Em
He saw a shimmeriiiiiiing lake.
Am9 Am6 Esus4 Em
A shadow in the dark green depths
Am7 Am6 Esus4 Em
Disturbed the strange tranquility.
[Bridge]
Gsus4/D G/D
"The waters are disturbed
Gsus4/D C/D D
Some creature has been stirred"

[Verse 4]
Em Bm
As he rushed to quench his thirst,
Em F# B
A fountain spring appeared before him
Em Bm
And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist,
Em F# B Am
A liquid voice called, "Son of gods, drink from my spring".
[Verse 5]
Am9 Am6 Esus4 Em
The water tasted strangely sweet.
Am9 Am6 Esus4
Behind him the voice called again.
Em Am7 Am Esus4 Em
He turned and saw her, in a cloak of mist alone
Am7 Am6 Esus4 Em
And as he gazed, her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake.
[Bridge]
Gsus4/D G/D
"We shall be one
Gsus4/D C/D D
We shall be joined as one"
