Down by the lake, down by the cold lake
We shook hands, we were fine with your demands
Down by the lake, the cold 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 till 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
You shot me down and left me there
I bled through sand till red coloured the water
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, down by the cold lake)
(The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake)
(You shot me down and left me there)
(The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake)
I bled through sand till red coloured the water
Murder, this is treason, they're crying out
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake
The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake
