Iphis was strong as any boy you would meet
Though she'd been born in female form
In the City this was fine, 'til at last, one day
Deep in love she did fall
Iphis loved Ianthe and was loved in return
Iphis turned away, forlorn
"Oh, I cannot marry you, a girl as I am -
I cannot marry you in this form"
But she had no money, she had not the gold
To buy the body she desired
So, in despair, she went to Isis' throne
To beg for all she required
And Isis said, "I'm moved by your tale of doomed romance
I know how that feels
I'll do what you ask - my people will find you a suitable body
And you'll find the money for the cerecral transfer is already in your account
But, my dear Iphis, you must remember - all things come at a price
One day, I will call on you
Don't let me down"
At once she agreed with the harsh demands
At once she was reborn
They were marries the self-same day
The next by Isis' summons they were torn
Iphis and Ianthe, together at last (Together)
But torn apart straight away (Torn apart)
"I am with you now, a boy as I am (With you)
But when will I see you again?" (See you again)
