Lyrics The Soundless Music Of The Lake - Põhjast

The Soundless Music Of The Lake

I came to rest beside a placid lake
I’d run all night, and then I had to stop
At daybreak, when my strength had given out
Awearily down to my knees I sank
Fear crippled me and darkness I foresaw
Yet faint I was, too powerless to rise
Alas, sick fascination forced my eyes
To look into the dark, enthralling deeps
There did I see a thing, a pallid face
That stared at me with horrid, rictus grin
Cold eyes and sneering maw, it ghastly lurked
I felt it was inhuman, felt its wrath
Of course I knew this beast, I knew it well
— it was the very one that I had fled
It beckoned me and I held out my hand…
Lake’s surface rippled once and then stood still
