The Lake

At midnight by the fireplace
 I fell in love with her portrait
 Her eyes revealed
 She knew I'd take the bait
 It's said she rests for many years
 Moonlight will make her appear
 In the lake that she had filled with her own tears
 I gathered all of the stories we have been told
 I never questioned she was really out there...
 Obsessed by the secret that she may hold
 I will find her anywhere...
 And there she lies with open eyes
 Starring into the night
 In the light of the midnight sky
 I have found one good reason to die
 Take me down to the quiet place
 In the lake where she sleeps in grace
 It's said she rests for many years
 I can see her shade appear
 In the lake that she had filled with strays and peers
 Sinking deeper
 Oh, how the cold fills me out
 As the starlight blurs over me
 Going deeper
 Emerging into the black
 For the first time I feel free
 And there she lies with open eyes
 Starring into the night
 In the light of the midnight sky
 I have found one good reason to die
 Take me down to the quiet place
 In the lake where she sleeps in grace
 In the light of the midnight sky
 I have found one good reason to die
 Take me down to the quiet place
 In the lake where she sleeps in grace
 In the lake where she sleeps in grace
