To Holmgard and Beyond Lyrics by Turisas

The Varangian Way

2007

[Nygård ]
Far from the sea and distant lands
Came men with thirty ships
Had wanted to reach the Neva by night
But the weather was not on their side
[ Nygård ]
And as the wind grew stronger and stronger
The rain ran down our cheeks
The bow was turned towards Gardar
The sail flew up again
[Chorus: Turisas (All)]
Holmgard and beyond
That's where the winds will us guide
For fame and for gold
Set sail for those lands unknown
[Instrumental]
[ Nygård ]
Osmo and Dalk, Kyy, Kokko and Ulf
Were glad to be off the oars
Turo had eaten too much again
Now hanging himself overboard
[ Nygård ]
The Tostensson twins were excited as always
Adventure was their game
Myself, Hakon the Bastard
Was out to find my name
[Chorus: Turisas (All)]
[Narration: Jonathan Hutchings]
Who is "I" without a past?
A river without a source?
An event without a cause?
[Narration: Jonathan Hutchings]
Threads of different lengths
Some longer, some shorter
So many of them spun together
[Narration: Jonathan Hutchings]
The crones keep on weaving
The algorithm of our lives
Cause and effect, the fates of men
[ Turisas (All)]
We know the way to Aldeigju
Upstream the river Alode
You take us to the portage
And further (South)
[ Turisas (All)]
Long is the way to the unknown
Long are the rivers in the East
Far lies the land that Ingvar
And his men desire to reach
[ Nygård ]
Many dangers lie ahead
Some of us may never return
Rather sold as a slave to the Saracens
Than chained to your bed, chained by your life!
[Chorus: Turisas (All)]
