The Scarlet Lake

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"
 "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 her
 Now both we'll lay
 Together we 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
 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:
 "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"
