The Fountain of Salmacis (Live at The Summit, Houston, 22nd October 1978)

[Verse 1]
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
Afraid of their love, ooh

[Verse 2]
As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe
In desire for, ooh, conquest
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before

[Chorus]
"Where are you my father
Give wisdom to your son"

[Verse 3]
And as his strength began to fail
He saw a shimmering lake
A shadow on the dark green depths
Disturbed a strange tranquillity

[Chorus]
"The waters are disturbed
Some creature has been stirred"

[Verse 4]
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", ooh

[Verse 5]
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 did, her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake

[Chorus]
"We shall be one
We shall be joined as one"

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
"Away from me cold-blooded woman
Your thirst is not mine"
"Nothing will cause us to part
Hear me, o Gods"
Unearthly calm descended from the sky
Ohh
And then their flesh and bones were strangely merged
Forever to be joined as one

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
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"

[Chorus]
"We are the one
We are the one"

[Outro]
Both had given everything they had
Ohh
A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last
Forever last beneath the lake
