The Scarlet Lake by Eternal Storm Lyrics
(Narrator)
Cold night, December 29th
The woods whisper between the mist
In this cold night, this starless night
Frozen winds carry a gloomy wail
Crimson tears have been shed
A crime of love, a shameful murder
In this silent night, a victim will lay forever
Reeds ask the whispering trees
“Why this threnody?
Whence comes the piercing cry?”
Then the forest screams
“Fear the answer
For eternal mourning we will keep”
(The Crow)
“I did it for us
I did it for her
It’s not a crime
It’s a marriage for life
I did it for us
I did it for hеr
Now both we’ll lay
Together wе will rest
I stabbed her eyes to end her cry
I tore her heart to end her pain
Why did you lie to me
When you said you won’t be mine?
Our feathers, black as a moonless night
My peak red as yours covered in your blood
Your empty heart abandoning life
As mine was dead since we met
(Narrator)
Words spoken with bloody tongue
A cry for love drenched with hate
A soul destroyed by lifeless housing
And now two hearts bleed together
Since that outrageous night
Of the cold December 29th
By the shores of the scarlet lake
From the red waters we hear a cry:
(The Black Swan)
“You stabbed my eyes
You tore my heart
The vacuum where I now rest
Is where you lived as if you were dead
You say you did it for me
A crime of love
To embrace your own death
You say you did it for us
You say you did it for me
For now I shall rest
Where you lived as if you were dead”
