Lantern Lake - A Haunting Ballad (Original Song)

Wrote a short horror(ish) story recently... & then decided to make a song out of it, lol. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The moon won't shine on the lake,
It’s waters black, it’s silence aches.
Chains beneath the surface call,
Hands that rise, then shadows fall.

[Pre Chorus]
Be quiet, be still (shhh…)
Do you see, Do you feel?

[Chorus]
Light your flame, don't let it die,
The lake remembers every lie.
Whispers drift, the drowned awake,
You can't escape, from Lantern Lake.

[Verse 2]
The roads all bend, the forest weeps,
The lake holds secrets it still keeps.
Lanterns float, but none return
Each flame a soul the waters burn.

[Pre Chorus]
Be quiet, be still (shhh…)
Do you see, do you feel?

[Chorus]
Light your flame, don't let it die,
The lake remembers every lie.
Whispers drift, the drowned awake,
You can't escape, from Lantern Lake.

[Bridge]
Hear the rattling in the deep,
Hear the names the spirits keep.
Every story feeds the curse,
Every verse the chains rehearse.

[Pre Chorus]
Be quiet, be still (shhh…)
Do you see, Do you feel?

[Final Chorus]
Light your flame, don't let it die,
The lake will take you when you try.
Whispers drift, the drowned awake,
Your fate is bound to Lantern Lake.

[Outro]
So sing no more, don't speak its name,
Or you will light your own dark flame.
The water waits, the silence breaks,
Soon you’ll belong to Lantern Lake.
