Lights on the Lake cuenta una trágica historia de padre e hija bastante llamativa, que desconozco si tiene historia antes o después en algunas otras canciones de la banda, y es que debo confesar que realmente no escucho ni soy fan de esta banda, y que si estoy subtitulando esta canción realmente es por Aleah, la invitada estrella de la canción; la voz femenina; la fantasma en el lago.
Su voz es muy hermosa, y su timbre muy suave, etéreo, casi mágico… Su forma de canto es denominada como “Whispering”, y en esta canción se puede apreciar como incluso tiene la capacidad para detener la tormenta, para frenar las guturales, detener la euforia, y devolverle a la canción su tranquilidad cuando le venga en gana.
Aleah es, definitivamente, una mujer muy talentosa. Y una de mis voces favoritas femeninas en toda la música.
"Father, why did you drown me here?
In these waters
And Father, why did you leave me here?
In deep waters
Father, it's getting darker here
As the years pass
And Father, I'm the whispers on the lake
Lights on water
My child, I carry the burden of sorrow with your soul
The songs you gently sing to me
But the love was never stronger
Than the grief of your unholy price
I curse you forever
In your watery grave
You passenger of evil
For taking her away, from me
The blood of your arrival
Cutting knives and shadows
A ceremony of pain
Through living flesh to the dead
Both in my bloody hands
But only one cried
In blazing fury I carried you through the woods
While the trees tried to stop me in horror
Your cry echoed on the lake
As I laid you down on the bout
The tears made circles on the still water
The circles made the waves
The waves raised the tide and made rain fall
Raised the lights on the lake
The tears made circles on the still water
The circles made the waves
The waves raised the tide and made rain fall
Raised the lights on the lake
Through the mist, further on the lake
In the eye of still water
Into the deepest pit you silently fell
Slowly in the throat of dark water
The tears made circles on the still water
The circles made the waves
The waves raised the tide and made rain fall
Raised the lights on the lake
The tears made circles on the still water
The circles made the waves
The waves raised the tide and made rain fall
Raised the lights on the lake"
