[Intro]
Am F G
[Verse 1]
AmThe one eyed old man told me that the face that I will Bbsee
AmHas paralysed a thousand brave mensure of victoBbry
AmI cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should sBbee
AmSo I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from withBbin
AmThe one eyed old man had told me of a lake that no one kBbnows
AmWhere the end of the sky unites with the
bottom
BbCountless feet down deep
AmAnd he told me when this world was young
BbInto its depths his eye he had thrown
AmSo that, though one eyed,
Bbhe could see more than can be seen
[Chorus]
FI'll throw my Ceyes into the Dmlake
FSo that I will Csee from withDmin
FI'll throw my Ceyes into the Dmlake
FAnd when Cblind BbI will still Dmsee
AmAt the bottom Fof the Glake
AmMy two eyes will sFhine Glike the sAmtars
AmAt the bottom Fof the lGake
AmI will see no Fmatter how Gnear or Cmfar
CmAt the bottom G#of the Bblake
CmMy two eyes will sG#hine lBbike the Cmstars
CmAt the bottom G#of the lBbake
CmI will see no G#matter how Gnear or Cmfar
[Verse 2]
AmRegardless at which speed my horse
Takes me through the Bbnight
AmNo matter how sharp the blade
Of my sword seems to Bbbe
AEven with the aid of two pair
Of eyes way up hBbigh
AmIn the end before the Beast its face
I would have had to sBbee
AmBut with my two eyes in the depths
My vision is suprBbeme
AmI see all things that can't be seen
But not my hand held out in front of Bbme
AmThe face that makes men freeze
I now need not see at Bball
AmI'll feel the presence of the Beast
But will not need to stare him down no Bbmore
[Chorus]
FI'll throw my Ceyes into the Dmlake
FSo that I will Csee from withDmin
FI'll throw my Ceyes into the Dmlake
FAnd when bClind BbI will still Dmsee
AmAt the bottom Fof the Glake
AmMy two eyes will sFhine Glike the sAmtars
AmAt the bottom Fof the Glake
AmI will see no Fmatter how Gnear or Cmfar
CmAt the bottom G#of the lBbake
CmMy two eyes will sG#hine Bblike the Cmstars
CmAt the bottom G#of the lBbake
CmI will see no mattG#er hoBbw near or Cmfar
