Lyrics

[01:07.00] The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will see
[01:14.00] Has paralysed a thousand brave men sure of victory
[01:21.00] I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see.
[01:29.00] So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within.
[01:52.00] The one eyed old man told me of a lake that no-one knows of.
[01:59.00] where the end of the sky unites with the bottom countless feet down deep
[02:07.00] And he told me when this world was young into it's depths his eye he had thrown
[02:14.00] So that though one eyed, he could see more than can be seen.
[02:23.00] I'll throw my eyes into the lake.
[02:30.00][05:12.00] So that I will see from within
[02:38.00] I'll throw my eyes into the lake
[02:46.00] And when blind I will still see.
[02:53.00][03:08.00][05:35.00][05:50.00] At the bottom of the lake.
[02:56.00][03:11.00] My two eyes will shine like the stars
[03:01.00][03:15.00][05:43.00][05:58.00] At the bottom of the lake
[03:04.00][03:19.00] I will see no matter how near or far
[03:49.00] Regardless at which speed my horse
[03:53.00] takes me through the night
[03:56.00] No matter how sharp the blade of my sword seems to be.
[04:04.00] Even with the aid of two pair of eyes way up high
[04:11.00] In the end before the Beast, it's face I would have had to see.
[04:34.00] But with my two eyes in the depths my vision is supreme
[04:42.00] I see all things that can't be seen
[04:45.00] but not my hand that is held out in front of me.
[04:49.00] The face that makes me freeze
[04:52.00] I now need not see at all.
[04:57.00] I'll feel the presence of the Beast.
[05:00.00] but will not need stare him down no more.
[05:05.00] I've thrown my eyes into the lake.
[05:20.00] I've throw my eyes into the lake
[05:28.00] And now when blind I still see.
[05:39.00][05:54.00] My two eyes are shining like the stars
[05:46.00][06:01.00] I now see no matter how near or far
[06:10.00] The Highlands...
[06:13.00] Early morning hours...
