King Diamond
The Lake
[Verse 1]
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"
Appear from the darkest deep
And hear my need

[Chorus]
Down by the lake, there's a shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the devil

[Verse 2]
Watching from the bridge
The one nearby the lake
Oh, sister Margaret
No need to hate
Yes, we all know
Well, that you're serving the cross
But this time, my dear
Well, you're lost

[Chorus]
Down by the lake, there's a shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the devil
[Bridge]
And the nun has been seen
I want your cross
Now come and play
Sister Margaret

[Verse 3]
Full of pride
The nun won't give in
She goes down alone
Scared as hell
The little girl is screaming
When sister Margaret
Disappears in the lake

[Chorus]
Down by the lake, there's a shadow of happiness
Dancing hand in hand with the devil
