The past participle of lie is lain. The past participle of lay is like the past tense, laid.

Definitely "lay on the Misty..", the past form of "lie" with its pp "lain" which doesn't take an object as opposed to "lay"(laid,laid) which does and as Siunia mentioned it rightly.
Even many natives jumble this sense of "lay" with "lie" , particularly in the continuous tenses.
