Eric the Red

Away from Icelands 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 Odins might
Come join me now I know the way,
(Well be free!)
No king to rule us down
(Ride the sea!)
Man the boats and hoist the sails,
(All hands on deck!)
Theres land to find I know,
(Dont look back!)
Through the wind and storm Ill carry on
To a new land where the sun will dawn
In the wind and storm Ill raise my head
Eric the Red
My son I see the fire in your eyes
As I felt when I was young
And Ive listened to the Skalds and tales, youve gotta go as I have done
But its 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,
(Well be free!)
No king to rule us down
(Ride the sea!)
Man the boats and hoist the sails,
(All hands on deck!)
Theres land to find I know,
(Dont look back!)
Through the wind and storm Ill carry on
To a new land where the sun will dawn
In the wind and storm Ill raise my head
