The Voyage to Vinland
We set our sails and hauled our oars
Heading for the Gods alone know where
In the whale’s wake we left our shores
Heading for the Gods know where
We steered the wind that Asgard sent…
…And the waves did rage without relent
(chorus) So heave me heroes, heave and haul
Valhalla hails thee one and all
The clash of foam crests foamed and flew…
…And the hail and hoar frost hacked our crew
The albatrosses in the sky…
…Like Valkeyries where the vanquished lie
(chorus)
No time for fond dreams of your farms…
…Nor to dwell upon your lady’s charms
The mighty Midgard serpent’s tail…
…Did rise up above us like a flail
(chorus)
The seas turned black as boiling tar…
…And the shadow shrouds obscured our star
The maggot mouths munched on our hull…
…As we drifted in this turgid lull
(chorus)
As if was destiny was planned…
…Eventually we sighted land
(chorus x2)
