Far from the sea and distant lands

Came men with thirty ships
Dm Am Dm C
Had wanted to reach the Neva by night

But the weather was not on their side

And as the wind grew stronger and stronger
Gm Dm
The rain ran down our cheeks

The bow was turned towards Gardar

The sail flew up again

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
Dm ......
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
D5 E5-F5 E5 D5-C5 A5
Dm
We know the way to Aldeigju
Dm
Upstream the river Alode
F G Dm
You take us to the portage
Am
And further (South)
Dm
Long is the way to the unknown
Dm Em F
Long are the rivers in the East
F G Dm
Far lies the land that Ingvar
Dm7 B5 A5 G5 A
And his men desi-re to reach
Bm C F
Many dangers lie ahead
G F C
Some of us may never return
Bm C F G
Rather sold as a slave to the Saracens
Asus4 A Asus4 A
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
