Far beyond the sea and distant lands
|
Came men with thirty ships
|
Had wanted to reach the Neva by night
|
But the weather was not on their side
|
|
And as the wind grew stronger and stronger
|
The rain ran down our cheeks
|
The bow was turned towards Gardar
|
The sail flew up again
|
|
Holmgard and beyond
|
That's where the winds will us guide
|
For fame and for gold
|
Set sail for those lands unknown
|
|
Osmo and Dalk, Kyy, Kokko and Ulf
|
Were glad to be off the oars
|
Turo had eaten too much again
|
Now hanging himself overboard
|
|
The Tostensson twins were excited as always
|
Adventure was their game
|
Myself, Hakon the Bastard
|
was out to find my name
|
|
Holmgard and beyond
|
That's where the winds will us guide
|
For fame and for gold
|
Set sail for those lands unknown
|
|
Who is "I" without a past?
|
A river without a source?
|
An event without a cause?
|
|
Threads of different lengths
|
Some longer, some shorter
|
So many of them spun together
|
|
The crones keep on weaving
|
The algorithm of our lives
|
Cause and effect, the fates of men
|
|
We know the way to Aldeigju
|
Upstream the river Alode
|
You take us to the portage
|
And further [South]
|
|
Long is the way to the unknown
|
Long are the rivers in the East
|
Far lies the land that Ingvar
|
And his men desire to reach
|
|
Many dangers lie ahead
|
Some of us may never return
|
Rather sold as a slave to the Saracens
|
Than chained to your bed, chained by your life!
|
|
Holmgard and beyond
|
That's where the winds will us guide
|
For fame and for gold
|
Set sail for those lands unknown
|
