A Portage to the Unknown
We've sailed across the sea, rowed for miles and miles upstream
Passed by Aldeigjuborg, seen Lake Ilmen gleam
Ingvar took the lead after Holmgard as agreed
What the end of Lovat meant was soon to be seen
Dripping with sweat, a new day dawn on
The ropes cut flesh as they've done in times foregone
I see my breath, my hands are going numb
Far from home we have come
An endless trail in front of my eyes
A swift take off, had no time for goodbyes
What will we find and what was left behind?
There's no return, get it off your mind
The water's changed to sand
Lakes and rivers turned to land
Plough up the rocky seas
Ride felled down trees
Foot by foot, we edge
Once a ship, now a sled
Six regular edges and six vertices
Six equilateral triangles
Six square faces in another dimension
Plato's earth transparent
Give me all you have
Pull as hard as you can
Plough up the rocky seas
Ride felled down trees
The water's changed to sand
Lakes and rivers turned to land
The rug has been pulled from under my feet
All my life made of lies and deceit
All I have left is a symbol on my chest
My only lead on my desperate quest
Branded at birth with the sign of Perun
East of the sun and West of the moon
The road now continues, Northwind be my guide
Wherever I'm going, the gods are on my side
Passed by Aldeigjuborg, seen Lake Ilmen gleam
Ingvar took the lead after Holmgard as agreed
What the end of Lovat meant was soon to be seen
Dripping with sweat, a new day dawn on
The ropes cut flesh as they've done in times foregone
I see my breath, my hands are going numb
Far from home we have come
An endless trail in front of my eyes
A swift take off, had no time for goodbyes
What will we find and what was left behind?
There's no return, get it off your mind
The water's changed to sand
Lakes and rivers turned to land
Plough up the rocky seas
Ride felled down trees
Foot by foot, we edge
Once a ship, now a sled
Six regular edges and six vertices
Six equilateral triangles
Six square faces in another dimension
Plato's earth transparent
Give me all you have
Pull as hard as you can
Plough up the rocky seas
Ride felled down trees
The water's changed to sand
Lakes and rivers turned to land
The rug has been pulled from under my feet
All my life made of lies and deceit
All I have left is a symbol on my chest
My only lead on my desperate quest
Branded at birth with the sign of Perun
East of the sun and West of the moon
The road now continues, Northwind be my guide
Wherever I'm going, the gods are on my side
