Bathory - The Lake lyrics
[Bathory - The Lake lyrics]
The one-eyed old man told me that
The face that I would see
Has paralyzed one thousand brave
Men sure of victory
I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd
Freeze if I could 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
Where the end of the sky
Unites with the bottom
Countless feet down deep
And he told me when this world was young
Into it's depths his eye he had thrown
So 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 within
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
When I'm blind I will still see
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes will shine like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I will see no matter how near or far
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes will shine like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I will see no matter how near or far
Regardless off with which speeds my horse
Takes me through the night
No matter how sharp the blade of
My sword seems to be
Oh, even with the aid of two
Pair of eyes way up high
In 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 supreme
I see all things that can't be seen but not
My hand held out in front of me
The face that makes men freeze I now
Need not to see at all
I'll feel the presence of the Beast but will
Not need to stare him down no more
I've thrown my eyes into the lake
So that I will see from within
I've thrown my eyes into the lake
And now when blind I still see
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes are shining like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I now see no matter how near or far
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes are shining like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I now see no matter how near or far
The face that I would see
Has paralyzed one thousand brave
Men sure of victory
I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd
Freeze if I could 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
Where the end of the sky
Unites with the bottom
Countless feet down deep
And he told me when this world was young
Into it's depths his eye he had thrown
So 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 within
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
When I'm blind I will still see
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes will shine like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I will see no matter how near or far
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes will shine like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I will see no matter how near or far
Regardless off with which speeds my horse
Takes me through the night
No matter how sharp the blade of
My sword seems to be
Oh, even with the aid of two
Pair of eyes way up high
In 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 supreme
I see all things that can't be seen but not
My hand held out in front of me
The face that makes men freeze I now
Need not to see at all
I'll feel the presence of the Beast but will
Not need to stare him down no more
I've thrown my eyes into the lake
So that I will see from within
I've thrown my eyes into the lake
And now when blind I still see
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes are shining like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I now see no matter how near or far
At the bottom of the lake
My two eyes are shining like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I now see no matter how near or far
