lyrics

05. The Lake (Edgar Allan Poe)

In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less-
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.

But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody-
Then-ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.

Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight-
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define-
Nor Love-although the Love were thine.

Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining-
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake.

Until Dawn
by Elvellon

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Lake”

I am a total Delain fanboy, and this sounds like it could be "Lucidity"-era Delain music. Wish I'd bought this ages ago. I don't care how formulaic this may sound to some, it's still a rockin good time. Hard to find this genre on Bandcamp. "Silence From the Deep" and "King of Thieves" also favorites. chuckles304
