Lady Of A Thousand Lakes

I wake in the darkness, no light by my side

I wake here amidst the trees to my own cry

A vision in my mind, a flash of crimson light

A projection of my fate, the reflection from the lake

There are no roses which outlive this cold

Or have you ever seen fresh petals on the snow?

Still in my dreams, through all the years

Piercing and powerful, this vivid sight appears:

She is not real, she never could be

I can't give a reason to why

She still haunts my sleep

Imagine the feeling, the breaking of the chains

So pure and playful, dancing in my veins

Fly from your hideout and meet the rising rays

Even to this darkness the Dawn still finds a way

In all these journeys through

Flooded fields and plains

We searched for the Lakeside,

the magic of this place

All my life - all my life

Iäve searched through all my life

the Lady of a Thousand Lakes is there

All this time - all this time

This time I've spent searching

the Lady of a Thousand Lakes was here

All is not given and she remains unique

Just like the World's Child - she could be in you

Thus, we dance on petals with

thorns stuck in our side

Could life be my wedding-day

This lady as my bride?
