"Narcissus" lyrics - SEPTICFLESH

[Verse 1: Spiros Antoniou]
On the walls of Venus's temple
The tale of Narcissus and Echo
A beautiful young nymph, sentenced to repeat
The last words of the others, never to talk first
She fell in love with Narcissus
And followed him longing to speak
He said, "Who is here?" and she replied, "Here"
He called for her saying, "Come", she just replied, "Come"

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2: Spiros Antoniou]
As none came near, Narcissus called her again
"Why do you shun me?", she could only say the same

[Verse 3: Spiros Antoniou & Sotiris Vayenas]
These words hurt deep, his pride his actions leads
"I would rather die than you should have me"
Narcissus went forth to a fountain in the north
He kneeled down to drink and then he fell in love

[Verse 4: Spiros Antoniou]
He said "Who is here?", his voice kept sounding "Here"
He called again the one that couldn't ever come

[Verse 5: Sotiris Vayenas]
His face was young and in the crystal waters glowed
His smile was cold reflecting back a thought
"I would rather die than you should have me"
