After having such rapid success in finding the lyrics to the Song of th Shield Wall, I'm back. This time I'm after the Lyrics to Voyaging to Vinland, which is a Very nice and emotive Viking Song. Any help in this endeavour will be much appreciated by yours truly. In anticipation, Hrafn

Voyaging to Vinland

We set the sails and we hauled our oars
heading for the gods alone know where
in the whale's wake we left our shores
heading for the gods alone know where
We steered the winds that Asgard sent
heading for the gods alone know where
and the waves did rave without relent
heading for the gods alone know where
So heave me heroes, heave and haul
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.

Clash of salt-crests, foamed and flew
heading for the gods alone know where
hail and hoar-frost hacked our crew
heading for the gods alone know where
The Albatrosses in the sky
heading for the gods alone know where
like Valkeyries where the vanquished lie
heading for the gods alone know where
So heave me heroes, heave and haul
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.

No time to dream of your fond farms
heading for the gods alone know where
nor to dwell upn your lady's charms
heading for the gods alone know where
The mighty Midgard-serpent's tail
heading for the gods alone know where
did writhe, and rise up like a flail
heading for the gods alone know where
So heave me heroes, heave and haul
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.

The seas turned black as boiling tar
heading for the gods alone know where
and shadow-shrouds obscured our star
heading for the gods alone know where
The maggot-mouths munched on our hull
heading for the gods alone know where
as we drifted in this lurid-lull
heading for the gods alone know where
So heave me heroes, heave and haul
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.

And as if this destiny was planned
heading for the gods alone know where
eventually we sighted a land
heading for the gods alone know where
So heave me heroes, heave and haul
Valhalla hails thee, one and all.

HTML sucks!

The Vikings knew it long before the ever landed in Vinland! LOL!! It was knowledge that Odin got when he hung on the World Wide Tree... where he also got the Runes... Take a look at any authentic runestone... no HTML!

LOL!!
