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
