| The scent grows | richer, |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| he | knows he must be | here, |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| He | finds a long | passageway lit by |
| Fm7/5- | |
| chandelier. |
| B/Eb | C#6 | |
| Each step he takes, the | perfumes change |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| From fa | miliar fragrance to | flavours strange. |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| A magnificent | chamber meets his |
| Fm7 | E7+ | |
| eye. |

| Inside, a long | rose-water pool |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| is | shrouded by fine | mist. |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| Ste | pping in the moist | silence, with a |
| Fm7/5- | |
| warm breeze he's gently kissed. |
| B/Eb | C#6 | |
| Thinking he is | quite alone, |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| He | enters the room, as if it | were his own |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| But | ripples on the s | weet pink water |
| Fm7/5- | |
| Reveal some company unthought of - |
| Cm | Ab/C | Cm7 | Ab/C | Bb6 | |
| Rael s | tands as | tonished | doubting his | sight, |
| Ab7+ | Eb | Eb/D | |
| Struck by | beauty, gripped in | fright | ; |
| Cm | Ab/C | Cm7 | Ab/C | Bb6 | |
| Three ver- | milion s | nakes of | female | face |
| Ab7+ | Eb | F | |
| The smallest | motion, filled with | grace. |
| Gm | Dm | F7+ | C7+ | D | |
| Muted | melodies | fill the | echoing | hall, |
| Gm | Dm | F7+ | C7+ | F7+ | C7+/9 | D | |
| But there | is no | sign of | warning | in the | siren's | call: |
| Gm | Dm | Am/E | Em | Bm | F#m | C#m | G#m | |
| " | Rael | welcome, | we are the | Lamia | of the | pool. |
| A | E | A | E | F#m | C#m | |
| We have been | waiting | for our | waters to | bring you | cool." |

| Putting fear be | side him, |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| he | trusts in beauty | blind |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| He s | lips into the | nectar, leaving his |
| Fm7/5- | |
| sh | redded clothes behind. |
| B/Eb | C#6 | |
| "With their tongues, they | test, taste and judge |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| all that is | mine. |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| They | move in a | series of caresses |
| Fm7 | E7+ | |
| That | glide up and down my s | pine. |

| As they nibble the | fruit of my flesh, |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| I feel no | pain, |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| Only a | magic that a |
| Fm7/5- | |
| name would stain. |
| B/Eb | C#6 | |
| With the first drop of my b | lood in their veins |
| B6 | A#m7 | |
| Their | faces are convulsed | in mortal pains. |
| E/G# | Ebm/F# | |
| The | fairest cries, 'We | all have loved you, |
| Fm7/5- | |
| Rael'." |
| Cm | Ab/C | Cm7 | Ab/C | Bb6 | |
| Each | empty s | nakelike | body f | loats, |
| Ab7+ | Eb | Eb/D | |
| Silent | sorrow in empty | boats. |
| Cm | Ab/C | Cm7 | Ab/C | Bb6 | |
| A s | ickly | sourness | fills the | room, |
| Ab7+ | Eb | F | |
| The bitter | harvest of a dying b | loom. |
| Gm | Dm | F7+ | C7+ | D | |
| Looking for | motion I | know I | will not | find, |
| Gm | Dm | F7+ | C7+ | F7+ | C7+/9 | D | |
| I stroke the | curls now | turning | pale, in | which I'd | lain ent | wined. |
| Gm | Dm | Am/E | Em | Bm | F#m | C#m | G#m | |
| " | Oh | Lamia, your f | lesh that re | mains I will | take as | my fo | od." |
| A | E | A | E | F#m | C#m | |
