Snaeland Lyrics

Lost far away in the Sea of Works

Lies the place of which Garðar spoke

Naddodd called it the Land of Snow

And now it will become our home

Hjorleif first went to Vesternnlands

Seeking a raid to fund the trek

Ingolf chose to honour the gods

While we awaited to sail on

When Ingolf was in sight of shore

He threw the pillars of his throne

Wherever they wash ashore

We'll rise our turf

We sailed through the waves

To reach those distant shores

Maybe one day

Someone will sing what we've done

Through the ice and snow

And fire from below

We'll make our way

And Snaeland'll be our home

They parted ways and the winter passed

Then came the spring with a smell of blood

Slaves were tired of wearing the yoke

And killed the ones who raided their homes

"This I see befall everyman

Who won't sacrifice to the gods

Blood's the price for the pride of a fool"

"Who knows if I shall even find

Wooden pillars on the shore

Of this island that I now call my home"

Three years have now flown away

As if taken by the wind

And the breaking waves on the bay

There where we see the smoke arise

From the fountains on the ground

Lies the proof we've long been waiting for

We sailed through the waves

To reach those distant shores

Maybe one day

Someone will sing what we've done

Through the ice and snow

And fire from below

We'll make our way

And Snaeland'll be our home

We sailed through the waves

To reach those distant shores

Maybe one day

Someone will sing what we've done

Through the ice and snow

And fire from below

We'll make our way

And Snaeland'll be our home
