Chords with lyrics
B/Eb C#6C#6
The scent grows richer,
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
he knows he must be here,
E/G# Ebm/F#
He finds a long passageway lit by
Fm7/5-
chandelier.
B/Eb C#6C#6
Each step he takes, the perfumes change
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
From familiar fragrance to flavours strange.
E/G# Ebm/F#
A augmentedA magnificent chamber meets his
Fm7Fm7 E7E7+
eye.
(G#m/Eb E MajorE G#m7/F# E MajorE B/Eb B4/E B/Eb E7E7+)
B/Eb C#6C#6
Inside, a long rose-water pool
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
is shrouded by fine mist.
E/G# Ebm/F#
Stepping in the moist silence, with a
Fm7/5-
warm breeze he's gently kissed.
B/Eb C#6C#6
Thinking he is quite alone,
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
He enters the room, as if it were his own
E/G# Ebm/F#
But ripples on the sweet pink water
Fm7/5-
Reveal some company unthought of -
C minorCm Ab/C Cm7Cm7 Ab/C Bb6Bb6
Rael stands astonished doubting his sight,
Ab7Ab7+ Eb MajorEb Eb/DEb/D
Struck by beauty, gripped in fright;
C minorCm Ab/C Cm7Cm7 Ab/C Bb6Bb6
Three ver-milion snakes of female face
Ab7Ab7+ Eb MajorEb FF
The smallest motion, filled with grace.
G minorGm DmDm F7F7+ C7C7+ D MajorD
Muted melodies fill the echoing hall,
G minorGm DmDm F7F7+ C7C7+ F7F7+ C7C7+/9 D MajorD
But there is no sign of warning in the siren's call:
G minorGm DmDm Am/E E minorEm B minorBm F# minorF#m C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
"Rael welcome, we are the Lamia of the pool.
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m C# minorC#m
We have been waiting for our waters to bring you cool."
(F# minorF#m C#/F Eb4/Bb Bb majorBb Ebm/Bb Bb7Bb7 Bb majorBb)
Piano Solo: (Eb7Eb7 C#7C#7+/F Eb7Eb7 C#7C#7+/F Eb7Eb7 Fm/Bb C#m/F#)
B/Eb C#6C#6
Putting fear beside him,
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
he trusts in beauty blind
E/G# Ebm/F#
He slips into the nectar, leaving his
Fm7/5-
shredded clothes behind.
B/Eb C#6C#6
"With their tongues, they test, taste and judge
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
all that is mine.
E/G# Ebm/F#
They move in a series of caresses
Fm7Fm7 E7E7+
That glide up and down my spine.
(G#m/Eb E MajorE G#m7/F# E MajorE B/Eb B4/E B/Eb E7E7+)
B/Eb C#6C#6
As they nibble the fruit of my flesh,
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
I feel no pain,
E/G# Ebm/F#
Only a magic that a
Fm7/5-
name would stain.
B/Eb C#6C#6
With the first drop of my blood in their veins
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
Their faces are convulsed in mortal pains.
E/G# Ebm/F#
The fairest cries, 'We all have loved you,
Fm7/5-
Rael'."
C minorCm Ab/C Cm7Cm7 Ab/C Bb6Bb6
Each empty snakelike body floats,
Ab7Ab7+ Eb MajorEb Eb/DEb/D
Silent sorrow in empty boats.
C minorCm Ab/C Cm7Cm7 Ab/C Bb6Bb6
A augmentedA sickly sourness fills the room,
Ab7Ab7+ Eb MajorEb FF
The bitter harvest of a dying bloom.
G minorGm DmDm F7F7+ C7C7+ D MajorD
Looking for motion I know I will not find,
G minorGm DmDm F7F7+ C7C7+ F7F7+ C7C7+/9 D MajorD
I stroke the curls now turning pale, in which I'd lain entwined.
G minorGm DmDm Am/E E minorEm B minorBm F# minorF#m C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
"Oh Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food."
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m C# minorC#m
It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my chocolate fingers.
(F# minorF#m C#/F Eb4/Bb Bb majorBb Ebm/Bb Bb7Bb7 Bb majorBb)
Piano Solo: (Eb7Eb7 C#7C#7+/F Eb7Eb7 C#7C#7+/F Eb7Eb7 Fm/Bb C#m/F#)
B/Eb C#6C#6
Looking behind me,
B6B6 A#m7A#m7
the water turns icy blue,
E/G# Ebm/F# Fm7/5-
The lights are dimmed and once again the stage is set for you.
(B/Eb C#6C#6 B6B6 A#m7A#m7 E/G# Ebm/F# Fm7/5-) fade
