Аккорды Genesis - "The Lamia"

            B/Eb C#6
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 familiar fragrance to flavours strange.
E/G# Ebm/F#
A magnificent chamber meets his
Fm7 E+7
eye.

G#m/Eb E G#m7/F# E B/Eb Bsus4/E B/Eb E+7

B/Eb C#6
Inside, a long rose-water pool
B6 A#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#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 sweet pink water
Fm7-5
Reveal some company unthought of -

Cm Ab/C Cm7 Ab/C Bb6
Rael stands astonished doubting his sight,
Ab+7 Eb Eb/D
Struck by beauty, gripped in fright;
Cm Ab/C Cm7 Ab/C Bb6
Three ver-milion snakes of female face
Ab+7 Eb F
The smallest motion, filled with grace.

Gm Dm F+7 C+7 D
Muted melodies fill the echoing hall,
Gm Dm F+7 C+7 F+7 C+7/9 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."

F#m C#/F Ebsus4/Bb Bb Ebm/Bb Bb7 Bb

Piano Solo: Eb7 C#+7/F Eb7 C#+7/F Eb7 Fm/Bb C#m/F#

B/Eb C#6
Putting fear beside him,
B6 A#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#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 E+7
That glide up and down my spine.

G#m/Eb E G#m7/F# E B/Eb Bsus4/E B/Eb E+7

B/Eb C#6
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 blood 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 snakelike body floats,
Ab+7 Eb Eb/D
Silent sorrow in empty boats.
Cm Ab/C Cm7 Ab/C Bb6
A sickly sourness fills the room,
Ab+7 Eb F
The bitter harvest of a dying bloom.

Gm Dm F+7 C+7 D
Looking for motion I know I will not find,
Gm Dm F+7 C+7 F+7 C+7/9 D
I stroke the curls now turning pale, in which I'd lain entwined.
Gm Dm Am/E Em Bm F#m C#m G#m
"Oh Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food."
A E A E F#m C#m
It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my chocolate fingers.

F#m C#/F Ebsus4/Bb Bb Ebm/Bb Bb7 Bb

Piano Solo: Eb7 C#+7/F Eb7 C#+7/F Eb7 Fm/Bb C#m/F#

B/Eb C#6
Looking behind me,
B6 A#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.
