Viking Lyrics by Peter Hammill

Fools Mate / In Camera

0

[Intro]
*Crashing waves*

[Verse 1]
Looking out forward over the prow of our long ship
Pulling our oars and listening to the foam;
Helmets and sheepskins salt-damp in the sea-mist:
We're going home

[Bridge]
Aslak of Langadale, Einar Thorgeirsson
Olaf the White and Sigurd the Powerful...

[Verse 2]
Looking for constellations above the horizon
West wind cutting sharper than our blades;
Smiling forever into an endless sunrise
We're flying on the waves

[Instrumental Break]
[Harmonica Solo]

[Bridge]
Thorfin Karlsefny, Aud the Deep-Minded
Snorri Thorbrandsson, Thorstein the Black...

[Verse 3]
Out of dark Vinland, with grey waves racing before us –
We want no rest
Back to the homeland, Iceland, sleeping in winter –
Back from the West

[Outro]
Five years we roam;
Now we're going home
