nokomis
lacunas coil I see you in my dreams at night,
Standing there screaming still
You haunt my waking thoughts
I see your son taunting you

Trapped, frozen in living rock
You cry the sand of this beach
Trapped, frozen in living rock
You were betrayed by him

The god of the lake laughs
Everytime the thunder rumbles in,
Oh Nokomis I will never forget you
In your tortured state

You tried to end it all,
Taking the lead from the high wall,
But instead he summoned his gale
And trapped you in that living rock

Oh Nokomis, I will never forget you
I saw you dozens of time
I sat under your gaze,
I climbed the trail you took to the top

Gitchee-gimi tortures you
He caresses you so softly,
But from this you can take no pleasure
Oh Nokomis, I will never forget you

In my dreams you live,
In my living words of waking dreams
In the voice with which I speak
I am the body of your pains

Oh Nokomis, I will never forget you
