lyrics

Find another way
We are so close
Pray the gods stay with us
Don't lose sight
Lest we be laid to waste
At the bottom of the bay
So many things left unsaid
Will we be left for dead

If this is to be my last voyage in this world
All I ask is to receive that which I deserve
I know it may sound strange or maybe quite absurd
If you can see me father please hear these words
All I've ever wanted is to find my purpose in life
An answer to the questions trapped deep inside of my mind
Please cure the sickness that has left me blind
If I've not given enough please give me a sign

We sail in search of a new land
One we would plunder for riches and fame
We cast aside our oppressors hand
One day the gods will remember our names

Forefather, I need you
More than ever, more than anyone
Keep me strong, keep me calm
For the storm closes faster and faster
I know that I may wash away
My life another page of someone else's history
But if you hold me close and guide me home
I will make you prouder than you've ever been

Thor beats his anvil in anger and rage
See the sea churn in the surf he creates
But we stay, astride the waves
Unbowed, unbent, unbroken, we remain

Fools

The gods betray us
They wish us dead
In the dark of the night
But not in our beds
The gods betray us
They would have our heads
For daring to believe
We might achieve glory

I pray to the skies that we see our home
I pray that the seas will calm
I pray I see the faces of all I love
I pray this before my time is up

But not before our boots taste sand
And we hold our trophies above our heads
Our axes buried in all who would stand
Before us in the Westerlands
