Letters in the Abyss - The Sunken Village

Deep within the lake of dead there lies a village left to rot, is it in my head?
My eyes are filled with darkest red as I plot to free their souls, are they truly dead?
Suffering within a dream, echoing further ‘til I cannot scream; I hear you
The lake's drowned ghosts beckon to me, longing release

Circling, am I too late? Is this my fate?
I see a bridge, all roads have led me here
I must not fail those we've lost
Countless slain, decrepit crypts, feeble hands, they grip to shreds of hope
Stuck between life and death, their bones they cry

Deep within the lake of dead there lies a village left to rot, is it in my head?
My eyes are filled with darkest red as I plot to free their souls, are they truly dead?
Suffering within a dream, echoing further ‘til I cannot scream; I hear you
The lake's drowned ghosts beckon to me, longing release

Trapped inside of my own loss my body starts to break
Locked deep inside, locked deep in my memories, exit me
I see your shattered face
Burning down what I called home, I've lost the will to push
The dead have stirred, they call for my distant grave
Left to rot in this sunken village

Drained, cold, persist
I can't go further, I see my death looming
Void's song calls to me warmly still

Trapped inside of my own loss my body starts to break
Locked deep inside, locked deep in my memories, exit me
I see your shattered face
Burning down what I called home, I've lost the will to push
The dead have stirred, they call for my distant grave
Left to rot in this sunken village
