Black Lake Bogeyman

Through the tangled, twisted woods Where the mist is ever thick Lies a secret, shrouded lake A place of malevolence Whispers in the shadows Tales of dread unfold Of the Black lake boogeyman Whose story must be told Fishermen murmur quietly Of eyes that pierce the night Of creatures lost forever Taken by his blight The water's dark reflection Hides a haunting truth A phantom born of sorrow Eternal and aloof Beware the Black lake bogeyman Who haunts the depths below In the murky waters Where no light dares to go He calls with ancient voices His touch as cold as ice In the Black lake's embrace He claims his sacrifice The howling of the wind The rustle of the trees Echo with his presence Carried on the breeze Animals that vanish Silence of the land All are signs and portents Of his ghostly hand No soul is ever certain When he will arise But once you've seen his visage You're lost within his eyes The legend tells of anguish Of vengeance and despair Of a man who was forsaken Now bound forever there Fear the Black lake bogeyman His eyes like burning coals In the shadows lurking Where the darkness holds He whispers through the willows With a voice as sharp as knives In the Black lake's clutches He hunts for frightened lives In the dead of night When the moon is pale and wan Stay away from black lake Or face the ghost, the ghostly spawn Dread the Black lake bogeyman Who prowls the midnight mist In the depths of silence Where dreams are never kissed He beckons with a nightmare His grip a deadly hold In the Black lake's waters The legends are retold Legends of the lake They drift on twilight's breath A warning to the wise Of a fate worse than death The echoes of his sorrow They ripple through the night A tale of endless darkness Devoid of hope or life With every soul he captures His power only grows A force of nature's fury A tale that never slows His haunting eyes will find you His curse will draw you near In the black lake's silence Your heart will freeze Beware the Black lake bogeyman His legend never dies In the eerie twilight Where shadows cloak the skies He sings a song of sorrow His heart a frozen stone In the black lake's darkness You'll find yourself alive Beware the Black lake bogeyman His luck from black lake's shore For the bogeyman is watching And he'll come back for more In the legend's eerie glow His terror ever looms The Black lake bogeyman harbinger of doom Black lake bogeyman Black lake bogeyman
