Bathory - Lake Lyrics
The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will seeHas paralysed a thousand brave men sure of victoryI cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see.So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within.The one eyed old man told me of a lake that no-one knows of.where the end of the sky unites with the bottom countless feet down deepAnd he told me when this world was young into it's depths his eye he had thrownSo that though one eyed, he could see more than can be seen.I'll throw my eyes into the lake.So that I will see from withinI'll throw my eyes into the lakeAnd when blind I will still see.At the bottom of the lake.My two eyes will shine like the starsAt the bottom of the lakeI will see no matter how near or farRegardless at which speed my horsetakes me through the nightNo matter how sharp the blade of my sword seems to be.Even with the aid of two pair of eyes way up highIn the end before the Beast, it's face I would have had to see.But with my two eyes in the depths my vision is supremeI see all things that can't be seenbut not my hand that is held out in front of me.The face that makes me freezeI now need not see at all.I'll feel the presence of the Beast.but will not need stare him down no more.I've thrown my eyes into the lake.So that I will see from withinI've throw my eyes into the lakeAnd now when blind I still see.At the bottom of the lake.My two eyes are shining like the starsAt the bottom of the lakeI now see no matter how near or far[The Highlands...][Early morning hours...]["Heading north.
