Away from Iceland's shores I must, the king says I must go Some neighbours asked a fight with me and I laid their bodies low
Now my face is in the wind again and friends are by my side The green land we are looking for and we trust in Odin's might
Come join me now I know the way, (We'll be free!) No king to rule us down (Ride the sea!) Man the boats and hoist the sails, (All hands on deck!) There's land to find I know, (Don't look back!)
Through the wind and storm I'll carry on To a new land where the sun will dawn In the wind and storm I'll raise my head Eric the Red
My son I see the fire in your eyes as I felt when I was young And I've listened to the Skalds and tales, you've gotta go as I have done
But it's your way Leif Eriksson, the Red has come too old The Vinland you will find I know, Ride the wind be strong and bold
Come join me now I know the way, (We'll be free!) No king to rule us down (Ride the sea!) Man the boats and hoist the sails, (All hands on deck!) There's land to find I know, (Don't look back!)
Through the wind and storm I'll carry on To a new land where the sun will dawn In the wind and storm I'll raise my head Eric the Red
