"One-Eyed Old Man" lyrics
"One-Eyed Old Man"
"O yee one eyed old man. You who see it all
You who see the past and all to be
Say, yee one eyed old man. For I need to know
Tell me which path fate has chosen for me?
Say does the Northstar still shine on me?
Say will I set my loved ones free?
O yee one eyed old man. Of yee our elders told
You have been since land and sky was one
And if you really knows all that will be, tell me
What the future wants with this young no one's son?
Say does the Northstar still shine on me?
What do you see in store for me?"
"Questions. Questions. Many you ask
About the future and some of the past
Few have seen what I see. Fewer still will ever know
I gave an eye to see better
And your thirst for knowledge grows
But you, my child, who treads the road of pain
Who have felt such anger. Such that bears no name
Thee shall I nurse as if you were my own son
And this very night your training will already have begun
For I have seen you come for a thousand years or so
And the gods have told me to teach you all that I possess and know
And though my eye no longer sees my hand held out in front of me
I still gaze crystal clear at all that mortal man cannot see
I see you ride up on a stallion as white as snow
With the speed of the winds and endurance untold
And you wield a sword of steel forged in fire and ice
And the cry of a warrior you sound
And victory is in your eyes
Hear me, my son, for you are the chosen one..."
