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

I'll throw my eyes into the lake

So that I will see from within

I'll throw my eyes into the lake
D# A# Ab Cm
And when blind I will still see

At the bottom of the lake
Gm D# F Gm
My two eyes will shine like the stars

At the bottom of the lake

I will see no matter how near or far
A#m F# Ab
At the bottom of the lake
A#m F# Ab A#m
My two eyes will shine like the stars
A#m F# Ab
At the bottom of the lake
A#m F# Ab A#m
I will see no matter how near or far
