Down by the lake, down by the cold lake
We shook hands, we were fine with your demands
Down by the lake, the cool, icy lake
In the sand, in the silence, you said farewell

Down by the lake, down by the cold lake
You shot me down and left me there
I bled through sand 'til red coloured the water
Murder, "This is treason", they're crying out
♪
The lake, now blood-red quiet lake
I took a dive with my heart in my hand
And I sank to the bottom
Hit the sand, the reeves they sang, I heard them sing

Down by the lake, down by the cold lake

Murder, "This is treason", they're crying out
I heard them sing
(The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake)
(The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake)
Sing
(Down by the lake)
(The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake)
(Down by the cold lake)
(You shot me down)
(The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake)
(And left me there)
