Down by the lake, down by the cold lake We shook hands, we were fine with your demands Down by the lake, the cold icy lake In the sand, in the silence you said farewell Down by the lake, down by the cold lake You shot me down and left me there I bled through sand till red coloured the water Murder, this is treason, they're crying out The lake, now blood-red quiet lake I took a dive with my heart in my hand And I sank to the bottom Hit the sand, the reeves they sang, I heard them sing Down by the lake, down by the cold lake You shot me down and left me there I bled through sand till red coloured the water Murder, this is treason, they're crying out I heard them sing (The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake) (The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake) Sing (Down by the lake, down by the cold lake) (The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake) (You shot me down and left me there) (The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake) I bled through sand till red coloured the water Murder, this is treason, they're crying out Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake The lake, the lake, the lake, the lake
