Now we're treading into gothic metal territory. A dash of black metal, then our classic slice of death. A story song about a woman who's lost her love and attempts to take her own life. Does she succeed?
lyrics
Every now and then
She sees his face again
In her mind, by the lake, in the fall
Every now and then
She sheds a tear for him
'Cause she knows that he is gone
(Chorus)
She cries by the lake
And she dies on the inside
She cries by the lake
Until the stars fill the sky
Every now and then
She wishes her heart could mend
From the pain of the one that she lost
And every now and then
She wishes he could send
Something to let her know it's all right
(Chorus)
She cries by the lake
And she dies on the inside
She cries by the lake
But this'll be the last time
She looks to the sky
At the moon shining so bright
She stands from her spot, strips off her dress
And walks
The water's so cold
It chills her flesh to the bone
Over her head, submerged
She takes a deep breath
She dies (dies)
