It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
It started out with bloodshed
Because of an interfering "princess"
She nearly killed the young prince
And so I murdered her and her father, no less
It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
This lake has seen the passing
Of so many I used to know
It has seen the end of all my friends
And still I come and go
It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
I met the Lady of the Lake,
A different girl, shunned like me
Freya was killed because of her curse
Just as I tried to set her free
It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
I met a man called Lancelot
Camelot's bravest knight he'd be
It was his bravery that killed him in the end
As he sacrificed his life for me
It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
Then there was Elyan, another knight of Camelot
The brother of queen Guinevere
Of course he died to save her life
And so I brought him here
It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
My destiny was with Arthur
He was the half that made me whole
But past Cammlan's pass he did not last
And his loss destroys my soul
It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
For those I've loved, for those I've lost
This lake reminds me of the cost
I try so hard to save them all
But not even Emrys can prevent their fall
Why must they die, why must I live
Why their lives take, can't I mine give
I'd do anything to see my friends
My family, my childhood, tie up loose ends
I'm not sorry for who I am
I'm just sorry that when I've done all I can
It's still not enough to save you
It's still not enough to make you
Make you come back to me
Come back and set me free
Instead I live alone
Feeling the loss of those I've known
I come back every year
To remember those who've died
To drench the lake in tears
No-one knows how hard I've cried
It seems so innocent on the surface
Calm and tranquil it appears
But this lake has seen my sorrows
It is filled with all my tears
