LYRICS
You've been told not to tread the shore
If life you don't detest
Tunes afloat from the mist-laid lake
Can be heard from unlaid rest
Only fools will now dare the path
A passion's tune allure
Love so tainted stains the place
Where death cannot bring cure
There she waited long ago
On her lover, future made
They'd elope and live in joy
See her trust and love betrayed
Drowned by one that took her heart
His promise, her grave mistake
Now she plays her broken tunes
Lady Yokai of the Lake
Dead but not in slumber
Her spirit awoke once more
She would right her wrongful death
By the now so cursed-rid shore
So every man that hears her call
Shall share her abysmal fate
Will she ever be released
Find peace, not tears and hate?
There she waited long ago
On her lover, future made
They'd elope and live in joy
See her trust and love betrayed
Drowned by one that took her heart
His promise, her grave mistake
Now she plays her broken tunes
Lady Yokai of the Lake
