	作词 : Genesis
	From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood
	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.
	Hermaphroditus: / Narrator:
	"Where are you, my father? / "Then he could go no further
	Give wisdom to your son" / Now lost, the boy was guided by the sun"
	And as his strength began to fail,
	He saw a shimmering lake.
	A shadow in the dark green depths
	Disturbed the strange tranquility.
	Salmacis: / Narrator:
	"The waters are disturbed / "The waters are disturbed
	Some creature has been stirred" / Naiad queen Salmacis 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.
	Salmacis: / Narrator:
	'We shall be one / 'She wanted them as one
	We shall be joined as one' / Yet he had no desire to be one'
	Hermaphroditus:
	"Away from me, cold-blooded woman.
	Your thirst is not mine."
	Salmacis:
	"Nothing will cause us to part.
	Hear me, O Gods!"
	Unearthly calm ascended 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 beg, that all who touch this spring
	May share my fate."
	Salmacis: / Narrator:
	"We are the one / "The two are now made one,
	We are the one" / Demi-god and nymph are now made one"
	Both had given everything they had.
	A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last.
	Forever still beneath the lake.
