[Intro]

[Heavy Guitar Intro Echoing Chorus, Orchestral Strings, Subtle Brass]

[Verse 1]

[Mournful Violin, Heavy Guitars, Subtle Woodwinds]
In a valley of twilight, where shadows entwine,
Her heart sang with love under the gentle starshine.
Her laugh was like bird song, her eyes soft and clear.
And her meaning of life was her passion to dear.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Strings Build, Brass Accents]
Holding hands, they twirled in the tender embrace of night!
And the lake's quiet waters witnessed the shine of love's light!

[Chorus]

[Heavy Guitars, Soaring Strings, Brass Swell, Female Backing]
Oh, the cold gloomy waters, what're you trying to hide,
In the lake’s silent depths, far away from the light?
Is there end to the secrets that the ancient lake keep?
How many poor souls have vanished into the deep?

[Verse 2]

[Mournful Violin, Heavy Guitars, Subtle Woodwinds]
But his heart turned to stone, his love slipped away.
For another girl's sake, he took path of betrayal.
His eyes became chilly, his vows - just deceit.
And her world collapsed, making broken heart bleed.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Strings Build, Brass Accents]
Shedding tears, she came to the shore where they used to dance!
And the lake's quiet waters boiled at her resolute glance!

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Soft Orchestral Strings, Soft Flute, Female Mournful Backing Vocals, Melodic Emotional Whispering Word with Reverb]
She hid pain inside her and never forgave.
The lake took her soul, turned her into a slave.
She's now Rusalka, these waters' hostage.
She waits for the right time to take her revenge!

[Instrumental solo]

[Fiery Violin Solo, Orchestral Strings, Woodwinds, Brass]

[Final Chorus]

[Heavy Guitars, Soaring Strings, Brass Swell, Female Backing, Ghostly Echo]
OOOOOH! The cold gloomy waters, what're you trying to hide,
In the lake’s silent depths, far away from the light?
Who is there, in the abyss, making the waters roil?
Whose sorrowful gaze watches wanderers from murky void?

Oh, the cold gloomy waters, what're you trying to hide, (to hide)
In the lake’s silent depths, far away from the light? (the light)
Is there end to the secrets that the ancient lake keep? (lake keep)
How many poor souls have vanished into the deep?

[Outro]

[Guitar-Violin Tango Echoing Chorus, Orchestral Strings, Subtle Brass, Fading]

In Slavic folklore, a Rusalka is a vengeful water spirit, born from a young woman’s tragic death, often by drowning after betrayal or heartbreak. Unlike the playful, sea-dwelling mermaid with her fish-like tail, the Rusalka haunts freshwater lakes and rivers. Driven by sorrow for her lost life and rage against those who wronged her, she lures men to their watery doom with her ghostly allure.
