Unhalig - [2010] Unholy - 03 - Black Lake

Rain fell throughout my odyssey from sunset to the night,
I did not miss the warmth and I did not pine for light,
But I beat with weary tread into the darkness as I wept,
To the black lake, and wherever all the lifeless things are kept

I bore him to the blackened lake and I laid him at its side
I stayed there kneeling by him as he whispered and he died
Bade goodbye to my brother as peacefully he slept
By the black lake, and wherever all the lifeless things are kept

And far from the sunset, far from the light of day
When lesser men sleep and in that sleep decay
I gave my fallen brother to the dark and sullen depths
To the black lake, and wherever all the lifeless things are kept
