Lights on the Lake

Father, why did you drown me here?
 In these waters
 And father, why did you leave me here?
 In deep waters
 Father, it's getting darker here as the years pass
 And father, I'm the whispers on the lake
 Lights on water
 
My child, I carry the burden of sorrow with your soul
 The songs you gently sing to me
 But the love was never stronger
 than the grief of your unholy price
 
I curse you forever in your watery grave, you passenger of evil
 For taking her away from me
 The blood of your arrival, cutting knives and shadows
 A ceremony of pain
 Through living flesh to the dead, both in my bloody hands
 But only one cried
 
In blazing fury I carried you through the woods
 While the trees tried to stop me in horror
 Your cry echoed on the lake as I laid you down on the boat
 
The tears made circles on the still water, the circles made the waves
 The waves raised the tide and made the rain fall
 Raised the lights on the lake
 
Through the mist, further on the lake
 In the eye of still water
 Into the deepest pit you silently fell
 Slowly in the throat of dark water
