Eric The Red

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
