Intro
Bm G A
[Verse 1]
Bm C
The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will see
Bm C
Has paralysed a thousand brave mensure of victory
Bm C
I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see
Bm C
So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within
Bm C
The one eyed old man had told me of a lake that no one knows
Bm
Where the end of the sky unites with the
bottom
C
Countless feet down deep
Bm
And he told me when this world was young
C
Into its depths his eye he had thrown
Bm
So that, though one eyed,
C
he could see more than can be seen
[Chorus]
G D Em
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
G D Em
So that I will see from within
G D Em
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
G D C Em
And when blind I will still see
Bm G A
At the bottom of the lake
Bm G A Bm
My two eyes will shine like the stars
Bm G A
At the bottom of the lake
Bm G A Dm
I will see no matter how near or far
Dm A# C
At the bottom of the lake
Dm A# C Dm
My two eyes will shine like the stars
Dm A# C
At the bottom of the lake
Dm A# A Dm
I will see no matter how near or far
[Verse 2]
Bm
Regardless at which speed my horse
C
Takes me through the night
Bm
No matter how sharp the blade
C
Of my sword seems to be
B
Even with the aid of two pair
C
Of eyes way up high
Bm
In the end before the Beast its face
C
I would have had to see
Bm
But with my two eyes in the depths
C
My vision is supreme
Bm
I see all things that can't be seen
C
But not my hand held out in front of me
Bm
The face that makes men freeze
C
I now need not see at all
Bm
I'll feel the presence of the Beast
C
But will not need to stare him down no more
[Chorus]
G D Em
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
G D Em
So that I will see from within
G D Em
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
G D C Em
And when blind I will still see
Bm G A
At the bottom of the lake
Bm G A Bm
My two eyes will shine like the stars
Bm G A
At the bottom of the lake
Bm G A Dm
I will see no matter how near or far
Dm A# C
At the bottom of the lake
Dm A# C Dm
My two eyes will shine like the stars
Dm A# C
At the bottom of the lake
Dm A# C Dm
I will see no matter how near or far
