But the band members still continued to hold contact, and after a joint rehearsal session in the summer of 2003 - meant to kill boredom - they got back together. The chemistry between the musicians was as good as ever, and once the rust had been shaken off, they set about working on ideas for new tracks.
With Mikael Larsson on bass guitar and Johan Oudhuis on drums, Lake of Tears released their 7th studio album Moons and Mushrooms on April 26th, 2007. The album features an increasingly heavy approach to guitar-work, which is emblematic of the new release. Though still having mainly a gothic metal sound, there are some progressive metal influences through the album as well, regarding the guitar riffs. Unlike Black Brick Road (whose melodies were primarily conceived via keyboard experimentation), Moons and Mushrooms features songs originating from the band's recent sporadic touring. Thus the riffs were the first musical element conceived, resulting in a heavier, darker sound.

Sister Sinister
Lake of Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stories of her golden time, night coming and the stars
Listen to her voice again, sister sinister will say
Sister sinister will say how you're doing there today
And by the way, how are you doing there
Lady lust in all her prom flying closer to the sun
Looking at her face again, sister sinister will play
Sister sinister will say how you're doing there today
And by the way, how are you doing there
The lyrics to "Sister Sinister" by Lake of Tears describe a place that is scarlet in color and also has a well with the tide creeping up. The song talks about how the place is haunted by the past memories and stories of a woman's golden time. As the night comes and stars light up the sky, there is a voice that begins to speak. That voice belongs to Sister Sinister who asks how the listener is doing and what they have been up to.
The song then talks about a woman named Lady Lust who is flying closer to the sun with all her prom. She invades the singer's mind and he wonders what she is searching for. Sister Sinister plays again and repeats her questions about how the listener is doing. The lyrics end abruptly, leaving the listener to wonder about the significance of the scarlet place, Sister Sinister, and Lady Lust.
Line by Line Meaning
A place so scarlet in a well, tide is creeping up so tell
In a vividly red location, with water rising slowly, there is a story to be told
Stories of her golden time, night coming and the stars
Tales of Sister Sinister's bright and prosperous past, as the night sky approaches
Listen to her voice again, sister sinister will say
As her voice echoes, Sister Sinister will speak
Sister sinister will say how you're doing there today
Sister Sinister will inquire about your wellbeing
And by the way, how are you doing there
Additionally, she asks about how you are currently feeling
Lady lust in all her prom flying closer to the sun
A seductive temptress, ascending towards the sun in all her glory
Closing up into my mind wonder what she's gonna find
Entering my thoughts, curious about what secrets she may uncover
Looking at her face again, sister sinister will play
Observing Lady Lust's appearance, Sister Sinister will toy with her
Sister sinister will say how you're doing there today
Once again, Sister Sinister checks on your current well-being
And by the way, how are you doing there
Repeating her inquiry about how you are feeling
