EN
Walking in a shadowy forest, not too far away from home In a place of nostalgic memories, a place of a childhood long lost I came here looking for an answer and a link to that which I can't see Under the sun's declining light, I behold the entrance to unreality Intriguing pathway of my dreams, only darkness lies beyond Far ahead a foggy shadow beacons and I follow enticed by its gesture Across a hall of dead trees, crooked branches writhe in silent pain From the ground and rotten roots a cold mist ascend piercing my skin Suddenly the silence breaks, by a yell and then a rising dreadful tune Now I see the lake, adorned with unearthly silver glare And right above, the chanting shadows dance… And I see, all of those shadows have a face, And right above, holding hands, the children dance in mid air… Slashed and wounded limbs, in ragged and stained clothes they sing The lake slowly comes alive, like playing by their evil tune Pallid bloody faces, in their maddening grins there's a secret concealed Water swirls below their dancing circle, like playing by their evil tune
