The Lake Lyrics - Blood On Ice - Bathory

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 too 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 its depth 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 

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 of 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 depth 

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 throw 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 can see no matter how near or far
