1000 years ago a Viking ship Left Norway in the spring
Tiden er kommet Tiden vil vise The saga of Vinland A saga of Norsemen
The new world they found they called Vinland The Land of Wine
Stormen forte skipet Vestover mot ukjent land
2. Farewell Proud Men
Look above into the misty air I hear the waves reminding me of fear I'm not alone but I am still confused Will you return and will your dreams come true?
Across the sea into shallow water Long ships' sails and sweeping oars To walk the shore of a new land To serve the shores of golden sand Across the sea into shallow water Long ships' sails and sweeping oars To walk the shore of a new land To serve the shores of golden sand
Farewell proud men Spirits will guide you May they save you Farewell proud men
Frightening ocean sacred as the wind I beg you please be careful with these men At night I dream of wonders and of change Will I receive a message from you then?
Far way from our own home Show me a future Open the palace door And I will follow you
3. Elegy
Teardrop on a fragile eyelash She's looking like a dream Hoping for some understanding And answer or at least Cunning word a single sentence To restore her heart Aching since the day I left her Crossing lonely seas
Silent tears of a woman Make a warrior cry Heaven, I beg you Please release hopes from fears
This is my elegy Do you know what I feel? This is my elegy Do you believe it's real? Will I hold you in my arms again?
Dewdrops on a single rosebud This purity of rain Reminds me of the moment I left her Kisses filled with pain And if I should leave her waiting For another year Will she ever know the answer? Will she follow me?
Silent tears of a woman Make her warrior cry Heaven, I beg you Please release hopes from fears
This is my elegy Do you know what I feel? This is my elegy Do you believe it's real? Will I hold you in my arms.. Hold you in my arms again?
Cunning word, a single sentence To restore her heart Aching since the day I left her Crossing lonely seas
4. Solemn Sea
Seil den sterke sjø Solen har gått ned I det vide havet I det mørke dypet Hviler en drøm Om et ukjent land [English translation:] Sail the strong lake The sun has gone down In the wide sea In the dark depth Rests a dream About an unknown land/country
The music of your heartbeat brightens me
Turn my fears into hope Oceans of blue
Darkening sky the shadows fall Foaming waves shatter us I cry aloud to the sky Solemn sea save me
Solemn sea save me
Watch and wait for the next Attacking waves, ice cold rain The black mirror of the sea Watching me, save me
The humming of the waves frightens me
Turn my fears into hope Oceans of blue
A thunder storm roars at me My body shakes in the rain Lightening rays spearing me A thousand spears haunting me
5. Leaves' Eyes
Summer goes Winter comes Leaves fall on frozen grounds True love lasts forever I imagine you in a thousand glimpses Moonlight you keep me safe at night And I know you're here if I fall
Seasons change Spirits wake up Birds fly away to far-away homes True love lasts forever I imagine you in a thousand glimpses
Moonlight you keep me safe at night And I know you're here if I fall Starlight show me the way in the dark And I know you're here when I call
Leaves' Eyes
Children grow up Parents grow old Man's wives become mothers to sons Sunna hides Mani glows Stars are watching over us
6. The Thorn
I hope that he will be safe Hopefully return in April I've heard the winds speak of a fight And it hit my heart like a thorn
Whispering voice appear I can't escape what I feel All I can see All I believe in Is connected to our kindred souls
I feel the thorn in my/your flesh The pounding of blood in my/your head I/you cry aloud I/you cry of anger My/your enemy will never forget me/you
I heard you calling my name I saw your colourless face Fire in your eyes Where do you go to? I dreamt of an enemy threatening you
Hold me Breathe with me Until the end of time
7. Misseri (Turn Green Meadows Into Grey)
Morning awakes Night is drifting away Winter's approaching Time to go or stay I see migrants travelling To a far-away world Reflected in black waters and you
Turn green meadows into grey Can you feel the winter waiting? Ice-cold rivers turn to blue Can you see the jewel shining?
Fire burning in my eyes It warms my hands when I'm alone There's no one here to hold me tight Rain patters against my window Or is he knocking at the door? Memories are growing stronger and you
Golden leaves under my shoes Gathering birds in the sky May I go with them Let me fly to you Let me fly to you And be safe
8. Amhran (Song Of The Winds)
[Instrumental]
9. New Found Land
Beyond the boundaries of the known world Where are the mountains and where are the fjords? Hundreds of miles off course, we are lost Clear skies return as we witness the shore
We sail the sea We fight the storm One hundred men caught by endless passion Adventure Norse Men A hunting eye One hundred men on a holy mission
My arms are tired and my feet are cold Hoping for shelter I'm hungry for food My eyes see fire, a gift from the gods What will we find at the end of the world?
We have found new land
We set sail for Greenland As we crossed the oceans Awaiting the Mirdgard serpent We finally found a new world
We have found new land I see New Found Land
10. Mourning Tree
So far away But still so close So many days I've had to count The meaning of life Comes true when I'm with you For in me there's a flower growing
Tell him through the winds I am here Whisper through the breeze not to fear Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me Reach out for the winds that we share Then you will feel I am near Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me
I told to the mourning tree
The long way home Is never too far Unless you've reached the end of life My deepest wish Comes true when I'm with you For in me there's a miracle growing
11. Twilight Sun
Spring is calling Time to leave The winds have told me She's waiting for me
Hear the tune Of northern winds
Twilight sun Will soon be gone Guide me twilight sun I will follow you home
Earth is awakening The grass is green The rivers sing She's calling for me
Shivering leaves Songs of home
For you I will return
If you don't return I will leave a message For you carved in stone
12. Ankomst
I glitrende solskinn Et landskap som våkner Vi seiler inn mot havnen
Hjem til deg i dine armer En historie å fortelle
Ankomst ankomst gi meg havn Ankomst ankomst åpne din favn
La dine sorger hvile i havet Et sted mellom nord og sør
Vinden synger de evige toner En sage å fortelle
[English translation:]
Arrival
In the sparkling sun A landscape waking up were sailing in towards the harbour [port] Home to you in your arms A story to tell
Arrival, arrival give me a harbour [port] Arrival, arrival open your arms
Let your sorrows rest at sea Somewhere between north and south
