The Lake


At the base of the waterfall

A river runs into the blood red lake

Voices of the sirens call from below

They're singing comforting words 

Their word turn to strings wrapping around those willing to listen

Dragging them down into the dark abyss

There are no heroes the only one able to save you

Is yourself, you have the power to turn and walk away
