_ _ _ _ _ [Em] From the dense forest [Bm] of tall, dark pinewood, [Em]
Mount Ida [F#] rises like [B] an island.
Within [Em] a hidden [Bm] cave, nymphs have kept a child [Em]
of Aphrodite, [B] son of gods, so [Am] afraid of their love.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
As the [Am] dawn creeps up [Em] the sky, the hunter [Am] caught sight of a [D] dove.
[Em] In this _ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _ [Em] conquest, he found [C] himself within a glade [Em] he'd not beheld before.
[G] _ Where are you, my father?
I must find [D] my own shadow.
_ [Em] And as his [Am] strength began to fail, [Em] he saw a _ [Am] shimmering lake.
_ A shadow in [B] the dark [Em] green depths disturbed [Am] the strange _ _ tranquility.
[G] _ The waters are _ disturbed.
_ [Am] It's a glitch I've [D] been told. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] As he rushed [Bm] to quench his thirst, a pounting [F#] spring appeared [B] before him.
As [Em] his heated [Bm] breath brushed through the cool mist, a liquid voice [B] called,
Son of gods, drink from [Am] my spring.
_ _ [B] _ _ [Em]
The water [Am] _ tasted [B] strangely sweet.
Behind [Am] him, a voice called [D] again.
He turned and saw [Am] _ [B] in a glow from mist alone.
And as he gazed, her eyes were [Em] filled with the darkness of the lake.
_ [G] We shall be one.
_ _ _ [Am] We shall be [D] one. _

_ [F#] Away [G#m] from me, cold-blooded [F#] woman, your [C#m] thirst is not [E] mine.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
Nothing [G#m] will cause us to part, hear [C#m] me, oh gods.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The [D#m] three come descended [D] from the sky. _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [E] And then their flesh and [B] bones were strangely merged,
[G#] forever to [A] be joined [D] as one.

_ _ _ The [Em] creature [Am] crawled into the lake, a [G] fading [C] voice _ was [Em] heard.
And I begged, yes [Am] I begged, [B] with all of [Em] touchless grin,
they shared _ [E] our fate.
_ [G] _ _
We now know they were us.
And we've got [Am] our name on [D] our paper. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
Ghosts had given everything they [D]
had.
But _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [E] our loveless dream had been [B] _ fulfilled at last.
_ [G#] Forever [A] still beneath the [D] lake.
