Thirteen Steps

Thirteen steps into the lake
Frozen in its cold embrace

Breaking through the water's mask
Staring eyes betray my task

Burning in the sunlight
Like Icarus before
Thirteen steps into the lake
Arising nevermore
Within the mirror's cold eye
Falling from the stars
Reality completed
You know now what you are

Bleeding by the moonlight
Beneath a painted sky
Thirteen steps into the lake
The place you lay to die

Burning in the sunlight
Like Icarus before
Thirteen steps into the lake
Arising nevermore
Within the mirror's cold eye
Falling from the stars
Reality completed
You know now what you are
