Green Lake's Ground - Atargatis

His love to Fate angered mother nature

A nymph who’s hidden on a green lake’s ground

To avoid her binding to this human

To avoid soiling nature’s majesty

«I'm here on the green lake’s ground

Can’t you hear me, there’s no way out

I’m held behind, under the surface

Am kept away from your honest love»

He asked the wind if it ever had played in her hair

And the grass if it ever felt her touch

Asked the green lake if it mirrored her amber eyes

And lay in silence to hear his innermost

Under the surface he saw her silhouette

Sparkle through the silent surface of the lake

Saw her lying motionless on the waters ground so deep

He despaired for she could not be alive anymore

«I'm here on the green lake’s ground

I am still alive, water’s magic protects me Don’t you take your last breath

Just continue your life without me»

And he spoke…:

«My only wish has been to share my life with you

In eternity I will bind my heart to yours

I’ll be lying next to you so silently

On the green waters ground, oh so deep…»

Not knowing that she was still alive

Well protected by nature’s magical might

His only wish has been to get so close to her

He hurled himself into the depth

Without taking a last breath

And he jumped…
