Silas J. Dirge - The Saddest Girl

The saddest girl who ever lived, cried for years and years
She flooded the whole valley, we called the Lake of Tears
No-one ever seemed to care just why she was so sad
But when she showed up in our town, it shook us up real bad

She came through the fields, in the dead of night
Leaving a trail of mud, rot, and blight
As we assessed the damage, it was clear to evеryone
Up to our knees in tears, something had to bе done

We took her to the priest, who thought that she was cursed
Then to the doctor, but he only made things worse
He put her in the madhouse where she cried even more
Nothing seemed to work, she drowned the whole damn ward

We ran her out of town, swinging torch and rake
No-one blinked an eye as she got thrown into the lake
What she whispered to the waves, none of us could hear
As our town got swallowed by a raging Lake of Tears
