Svavar Knútur - Ahoy! Side B

Hope and Fortune (feat. Irish Mythen)

I left my home on an Autumn day
Turned my face to the ocean grey
Shed my life for a chance to be free
Hang onto hope on a treacherous sea

To look back again on that land of mine
To have my heart and my mind beguiled
What lies ahead can't be a mistake
Day by day another Yankee wake

O'er the seas we go
Say fare thee well so long to the world we know
Oh the hell we'll raise
When fortune guides us over furious waves
When fortune guides us over furious waves

They say hope is a fickle thing
But I'd rather hope than face another frozen spring
I'd rather brave the ocean's rage
Than safely starve another day

The devil you know or the devil you don't
A hangman's smile or a pastor's doubts
For hope is a thing we can't afford
I won't leave my luck in the hands of the lord

Over the seas we'll go
Say fare thee well so long to the world we know
Oh the hell we'll raise
When fortune guides us over furious waves
When fortune guides us over furious waves

All I'm bringing along with me
Tiny branch of my family tree
All we've lost and all we've known
We'll plant anew and watch it grow

Over the seas we go
Say fare thee well so long to the world we know
Oh the well we'll raise
When fortune guides us over furious waves
When fortune guides us over furious waves

I say o'er the seas we'll go
Say fare the well so long to the world we know
Oh the hell we'll raise
When fortune guides us over furious waves
When fortune guides us over furious waves
When fortune guides us over furious waves
When fortune guides us over furious waves
