The Lake (2016)

from Beyond by Toad In Transit

/

about

Originally from the "Beneath the paths of eden" album.
A favorite track for some but we were quite unsatisfied with the sound and the production itself.
So we re-recorded it in a manner we played the song live on a couple of ocasions and also picked up the pace a little bit.

lyrics

Down, to where the sand lies
Running through a darkened landslide
Tears like rain from your face
Foul innocent ground
The cries left unheard
A mute voice never found

Gloomy lights mark your way still
Shaping antics of your fate’s ill
Downward to the waterline
Delusion of your night
The ghost is watching still
Beneath the silver light

And there the stars, they shine so bright
You look for answers in this night
But they´re so silent
Are just glowing shades of grey

And when all sorrow turns to sand
Made by your very hand
In this desert, your life’s mend
You are parching without a chance

Failing will of swimming on
You’re the cosmos’ shattered spawn
You can´t live, you can´t stand
The fear you feel

And the waves keep crashing by
This will cause a rising tide
The ghost’s hand
It will show you how to dive

Feel the failing ground here
A torment that may hold you here
Snow, of the summer’s coming storm
Your will’s still unborn
Let the ghost touch your face
A spark, a fallen grace
