Bathory - The lake

^AmThe one eyed old man told me that the face that I will ^Bbsee ^AmHas paralysed a thousand brave mensure of victo^Bbry ^AmI cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should s^Bbee ^AmSo I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from with^Bbin ^AmThe one eyed old man had told me of a lake that no one k^Bbnows ^AmWhere the end of the sky unites with the bottom ^BbCountless feet down deep ^AmAnd he told me when this world was young ^BbInto its depths his eye he had thrown ^AmSo that, though one eyed, ^Bbhe could see more than can be seen

^FI'll throw my ^Ceyes into the ^Dmlake ^FSo that I will ^Csee from with^Dmin ^FI'll throw my ^Ceyes into the ^Dmlake ^FAnd when ^Cblind ^BbI will still ^Dmsee ^AmAt the bottom ^Fof the ^Glake ^AmMy two eyes will s^Fhine ^Glike the s^Amtars ^AmAt the bottom ^Fof the l^Gake ^AmI will see no ^Fmatter how ^Gnear or ^Cmfar ^CmAt the bottom ^G#of the ^Bblake ^CmMy two eyes will s^G#hine l^Bbike the ^Cmstars ^CmAt the bottom ^G#of the l^Bbake ^CmI will see no ^G#matter how ^Gnear or ^Cmfar

^AmRegardless at which speed my horse Takes me through the ^Bbnight ^AmNo matter how sharp the blade Of my sword seems to ^Bbbe ^AEven with the aid of two pair Of eyes way up h^Bbigh ^AmIn the end before the Beast its face I would have had to s^Bbee ^AmBut with my two eyes in the depths My vision is supr^Bbeme ^AmI see all things that can't be seen But not my hand held out in front of ^Bbme ^AmThe face that makes men freeze I now need not see at ^Bball ^AmI'll feel the presence of the Beast But will not need to stare him down no ^Bbmore

^FI'll throw my ^Ceyes into the ^Dmlake ^FSo that I will^C see from with^Dmin ^FI'll throw my ^Ceyes into the ^Dmlake ^FAnd when b^Clind ^BbI will still ^Dmsee ^AmAt the bottom ^Fof the ^Glake ^AmMy two eyes will s^Fhine ^Glike the s^Amtars ^AmAt the bottom ^Fof the ^Glake ^AmI will see no ^Fmatter how ^Gnear or ^Cmfar ^CmAt the bottom ^G#of the l^Bbake ^CmMy two eyes will s^G#hine ^Bblike the ^Cmstars ^CmAt the bottom ^G#of the l^Bbake ^CmI will see no matt^G#er ho^Bbw near or^Cm far
