8. The Lake

The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will see

Has paralysed a thousand brave men sure of victory

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

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

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

Where the end of the sky unites with the bottom

Countless feet down deep

And he told me when this world was young

Into its 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

And when 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

Regardless at which speed my horse

Takes me through the night

No matter how sharp the blade

Of my sword seems to be

Even with the aid of two pair

Of eyes way up high

In the end before the Beast its 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 see at all

I'll feel the presence of the Beast

But will not need to stare him down no more

I've thrown down 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
