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