The Lake Bathory

[Verse 1]
The one-eyed old man told me that the face that I would see
Has paralyzed one thousand brave men sure of victory
I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I could 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
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
So that I will see from within
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
When I'm blind I will still see

[Chorus]
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
