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.

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.

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.
