SI/MIb DO#6
The scent grows richer,
SI6 SIbm7
he knows he must be here,
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
He finds a long passageway lit by
FAm7/
chandelier.
SI/MIb DO#6
Each step he takes, the perfumes change
SI6 SIbm7
From familiar fragrance to flavours strange.
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
A magnificent chamber meets his
FAm7 MI7+
eye.
( SOL#m/MIb MI SOL#m7/FA# MI SI/MIb SI4/MI SI/MIb MI7+ )
SI/MIb DO#6
Inside, a long rose-water pool
SI6 SIbm7
is shrouded by fine mist.
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
Stepping in the moist silence, with a
FAm7/
warm breeze he's gently kissed.
SI/MIb DO#6
Thinking he is quite alone,
SI6 SIbm7
He enters the room, as if it were his own
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
But ripples on the sweet pink water
FAm7/
Reveal some company unthought of -
DOm SOL#/DO DOm7 SOL#/DO SIb6
Rael stands astonished doubting his sight,
SOL#7+ MIb MIb/RE
Struck by beauty, gripped in fright;
DOm SOL#/DO DOm7 SOL#/DO SIb6
Three ver-milion snakes of female face
SOL#7+ MIb FA
The smallest motion, filled with grace.
SOLm REm FA7+ DO7+ RE
Muted melodies fill the echoing hall,
SOLm REm FA7+ DO7+ FA7+ DO7+/ RE
But there is no sign of warning in the siren's call:
SOLm REm LAm/MI MIm SIm FA#m DO#m SOL#m
"Rael welcome, we are the Lamia of the pool.
LA MI LA MI FA#m DO#m
We have been waiting for our waters to bring you cool."
( FA#m DO#/FA MIb4/SIb SIb MIbm/SIb SIb7 SIb )
Piano Solo: ( Eb7 C#7+/F Eb7 C#7+/F Eb7 Fm/Bb C#m/F# )
SI/MIb DO#6
Putting fear beside him,
SI6 SIbm7
he trusts in beauty blind
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
He slips into the nectar, leaving his
FAm7/
shredded clothes behind.
SI/MIb DO#6
"With their tongues, they test, taste and judge
SI6 SIbm7
all that is mine.
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
They move in a series of caresses
FAm7 MI7+
That glide up and down my spine.
( SOL#m/MIb MI SOL#m7/FA# MI SI/MIb SI4/MI SI/MIb MI7+ )
SI/MIb DO#6
As they nibble the fruit of my flesh,
SI6 SIbm7
I feel no pain,
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
Only a magic that a
FAm7/
name would stain.
SI/MIb DO#6
With the first drop of my blood in their veins
SI6 SIbm7
Their faces are convulsed in mortal pains.
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA#
The fairest cries, 'We all have loved you,
FAm7/
Rael'."
DOm SOL#/DO DOm7 SOL#/DO SIb6
Each empty snakelike body floats,
SOL#7+ MIb MIb/RE
Silent sorrow in empty boats.
DOm SOL#/DO DOm7 SOL#/DO SIb6
A sickly sourness fills the room,
SOL#7+ MIb FA
The bitter harvest of a dying bloom.
SOLm REm FA7+ DO7+ RE
Looking for motion I know I will not find,
SOLm REm FA7+ DO7+ FA7+ DO7+/ RE
I stroke the curls now turning pale, in which I'd lain entwined.
SOLm REm LAm/MI MIm SIm FA#m DO#m SOL#m
"Oh Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food."
LA MI LA MI FA#m DO#m
It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my chocolate fingers.
( FA#m DO#/FA MIb4/SIb SIb MIbm/SIb SIb7 SIb )
Piano Solo: ( Eb7 C#7+/F Eb7 C#7+/F Eb7 Fm/Bb C#m/F# )
SI/MIb DO#6
Looking behind me,
SI6 SIbm7
the water turns icy blue,
MI/SOL# MIbm/FA# FAm7/
The lights are dimmed and once again the stage is set for you.
