Em Bm Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child; Em F# B Am Hermaphroditus, son of gods, so afraid of their love. 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. Gsus4/D G/D "Where are you, my father? Gsus4/D C/D D Give wisdom to your son" 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. Gsus4/D G/D "The waters are disturbed Gsus4/D C/D D Some creature has been stirred" Instr interlude Cmaj7 Bm7 | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | Cmaj7 Bm7 | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | Cmaj7 | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | D | / / / / | / / / / | 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". 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.
