One-Eyed Old Man

O ye one eyed old man, you who see it all

You who see the past and all to be

Say, ye 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 ye one eyed old man. Of ye our elders told

You have been since land and sky was one

And if you really know 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

And I see you riding 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

An icy cave in a mountain

Bright morning
