The Lake Lyrics - The Dark Sides - King Diamond

It is Sunday morning, well, just before dawn 

A little girl is dancing on the mansion lawn 

She calls out a name, Dagon of the sea 

I'm here from the darkest deep 

And hear my name 

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief 

Dancing hand in hand with the devil 

Watching from the bridge, the one near by the lake 

Why sister Margaret? No need to hate 

Yes, we all know, that you're serving the cross 

This time my dear 

Well, you've lost 

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief 

Dancing hand in hand with the devil 

And the nun has been seen 

I want your cross 

Now come and play 

Sister Margaret 

Full of pride, the nun won't give in 

She comes down alone 

Scared as hell, the little girl is screaming 

When sister Margaret disappears in the lake 

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of happiness 

Dancing hand in hand with the devil
