The Lake-Mike Oldfield

[ti:the lake] [ar:bathory ] [al:] [offset:500] [01:07]The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will see [01:14]Has paralysed a thousand brave men sure of victory [01:21]I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see. [01:29]So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within. [01:52]The one eyed old man told me of a lake that no-one knows of. [01:59]Where the end of the sky unites with the bottom countless feet down deep [02:07]And he told me when this world was young into it's depths his eye he had thrown [02:14]So that though one eyed, he could see more than can be seen. [02:23]I'll throw my eyes into the lake. [02:30]So that I will see from within [02:38]I'll throw my eyes into the lake [02:46]And when blind I will still see. [03:08][02:53]At the bottom of the lake. [03:11][02:56]My two eyes will shine like the stars [03:15][03:01]At the bottom of the lake [03:19][03:04]I will see no matter how near or far [03:49]Regardless at which speed my horse [03:53]Takes me through the night [03:56]No matter how sharp the blade of my sword seems to be. [04:04]Even with the aid of two pair of eyes way up high [04:11]In the end before the Beast, it's face I would have had to see. [04:34]But with my two eyes in the depths my vision is supreme [04:42]I see all things that can't be seen [04:45]But not my hand that is held out in front of me. [04:49]The face that makes me freeze [04:52]I now need not see at all. [04:57]I'll feel the presence of the Beast. [05:00]But will not need stare him down no more. [05:05]I've thrown my eyes into the lake. [05:12]So that I will see from within [05:20]I've throw my eyes into the lake [05:28]And now when blind I still see. [05:50][05:35]At the bottom of the lake. [05:54][05:39]My two eyes are shining like the stars [05:58][05:43]At the bottom of the lake [06:01][05:46]I now see no matter how near or far [06:10]The Highlands... [06:13]Early morning hours... [06:15] Heading north. Sitting upon his majestic eight-legged white stallion. His [06:18]Sword slung on his back. Sensing his feathered friends way up high. Seeing [06:20]All they see. Feeling all they feel. Though the sun has just cut the [06:23]Horizon in the east to bring a new day, the shadows now seem to grow [06:25]Mightier for each passage in these mountains. Riding into a thick mist, his [06:28]Senses alert. Distorted voices in the shadows whispering to him. Taunting [06:30]Him. He knows his mission. He knows the powers and the magic he birngs with [06:33]Him as he rides trough the valley of death, where time and space have [06:35]Ceased to exist. The eyes of the unseen are upon him. The spirits of his [06:38]Fathers long time gone riding next to him. [06:40]And the hearts of the Gods of Thunder of Wind and of Rain...
