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 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 it's 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, it's 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 that is held out in front of me.
 The face that makes me freeze
 I now need not see at all.
 I'll feel the presence of the Beast.
 but will not need stare him down no more.

 I've thrown my eyes into the lake.
 So that I will see from within
 I've 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
