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 for 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 a better And you thirst fo knowlenge grows. But you,my chld, 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 me eye no longer sees My hand held out in front of me, I sill gaze crystal clear at all That moral man cannot see. And I see you riding up on a stallion as white as snow Which the speed of the winds and endurance unold And you wield a sword of steel forget in fire an ice. And the cry of a warrior you sound And victory is in our eyes. Hear me my son,for you are the chosen one." --- One Eyed Old Man - Bathory
