At the lakeshore where water is dark

It's deep, it's cold, it's terrifying

Whatever's in there is unknown

Except for the monster


The monster is there, it's palpable

It's the only real thing underwater

It's waiting, eager and patient

For the flesh to hit the water


Go on, step forward, go in

Let the skin be frostbitten

Bottom rocks sharp as blades

The water thickens with blood


Close your eyes and dive in

For you know you can't stay

Walk into the moist unknown

Surrender the mind to it


Can you feel it?

Monster eyes on you

In the cold wet dark

It's coming for you
