[Intro] Am F G [Verse 1]
Am                                                     Bb
The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will see

Am                                             Bb
Has paralysed a thousand brave mensure of victory

Am                                                     Bb
I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see

Am                                                 Bb
So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within

Am                                                      Bb
The one eyed old man had told me of a lake that no one knows

Am
Where the end of the sky unites with the
bottom
Bb
Countless feet down deep

Am
And he told me when this world was young

Bb
Into its depths his eye he had thrown

Am
So that, though one eyed,

Bb
he could see more than can be seen
[Chorus]
F             C             Dm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake

F              C            Dm
So that I will see from within

F             C             Dm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake

F        C     Bb           Dm
And when blind I will still see

Am            F      G
At the bottom of the lake

Am                F    G         Am
My two eyes will shine like the stars

Am            F       G
At the bottom of the lake

Am            F          G       Cm
I will see no matter how near or far

Cm            G#     Bb
At the bottom of the lake

Cm                G#    Bb      Cm
My two eyes will shine like the stars

Cm            G#      Bb
At the bottom of the lake

Cm            G#         G       Cm
I will see no matter how near or far
[Verse 2]
Am
Regardless at which speed my horse

                     Bb
Takes me through the night

Am
No matter how sharp the blade

                     Bb
Of my sword seems to be

A
Even with the aid of two pair

                Bb
Of eyes way up high

Am
In the end before the Beast its face

                     Bb
I would have had to see

Am
But with my two eyes in the depths

                 Bb
My vision is supreme

Am
I see all things that can't be seen

                                     Bb
But not my hand held out in front of me

Am
The face that makes men freeze

                      Bb
I now need not see at all

Am
I'll feel the presence of the Beast

                                       Bb
But will not need to stare him down no more
[Chorus]
F             C             Dm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake

F             C             Dm
So that I will see from within

F             C             Dm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake

F         C    Bb           Dm
And when blind I will still see

Am            F      G
At the bottom of the lake

Am                F    G         Am
My two eyes will shine like the stars

Am            F      G
At the bottom of the lake

Am            F          G       Cm
I will see no matter how near or far

Cm            G#      Bb
At the bottom of the lake

Cm                G#   Bb       Cm
My two eyes will shine like the stars

Cm            G#      Bb
At the bottom of the lake

Cm                G#   Bb       Cm
I will see no matter how near or far
