Song lyrics

Far from 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 sails 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 sails 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 slaves 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 sails for those lands unknown!
