To Holmgard And Beyond
[00:34.55] Far from the sea and distant lands
[00:38.05] Came men with thirty ships
[00:41.81] Had wanted to reach the Neva by night
[00:45.56] But the weather was not on their side
[00:49.06] And as the wind grew stronger and stronger
[00:53.57] The rain ran down our cheeks
[00:57.31] The bow was turned towards Gardar
[01:01.30] The sail flew up again
[01:05.32] Holmgard and beyond
[01:09.07] That's where the winds will us guide
[01:13.06] For fame and for gold
[01:16.82] Set sail for those lands unknown
[02:10.55] Osmo and Dalk, Kyy, Kokko, and Ulf
[02:14.31] Were glad to be off the oars
[02:18.31] Turo had eaten too much again
[02:21.82] Now hanging himself overboard
[02:25.06] The Tostensson twins were excited as always
[02:29.56] Adventure was their game
[02:33.32] Myself, Hakon the Bastard
[02:37.31] Was out to find my name
[02:41.05] Holmgard and beyond
[02:45.07] That's where the winds will us guide
[02:49.06] For fame and for gold
[02:52.80] Set sail for those lands unknown
[02:59.30] Who is "I" without a past?
[03:03.31] A river without a source?
[03:07.56] An event without a cause?
[03:11.31] Threads of different lengths
[03:14.82] Some longer, some shorter
[03:19.31] So many of them spun together
[03:24.56] The crones keep on weaving
[03:27.80] The algorithm of our lives
[03:32.30] Cause and effect, the fates of men
[03:38.06] We know the way to Aldeigju
[03:40.81] Upstream the river Alode
[03:44.56] You take us to the portage
[03:48.55] And further—
[03:51.30] Long is the way to the unknown
[03:54.31] Long are the rivers in the East
[03:58.08] Far lies the land that Ingvar
[04:02.08] And his men desire to reach
[04:06.81] Many dangers lie ahead
[04:10.05] Some of us may never return
[04:14.06] Rather sold as a slave to the Saracens
[04:17.56] Than chained to your bed, chained by your life!
[04:25.30] Holmgard and beyond
[04:28.80] That's where the winds will us guide
[04:32.55] For fame and for gold
[04:36.56] Set sail for those lands unknown
