Lyrics Swallow the Sun

Swallow the Sun

Lights on the Lake (Horror pt. III)

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
