Voyaging To Vinland Lyrics - Singles - Calvert Robert

We set the sails and hauled our oars 

heading for the gods alone know where 

in the whale's wake we left our shores 

heading for the gods know where. 

We steered the winds that Asgard sent 

heading for the gods alone know where 

and the waves did rave without relent 

heading for the gods know where. 

So heave me heroes, heave and haul 

Valhalla hails thee, one and all. 

Clash of salt-crests, foamed and flew 

heading for the gods alone know where 

hail and hoar-frost hacked our crew 

heading for the gods know where. 

The Albatrosses in the sky 

heading for the gods alone know where 

like Valkeyries where the vanquished lie 

heading for the gods know where. 

So heave me heroes, heave and haul 

Valhalla hails thee, one and all. 

No time to dream of your fond farms 

heading for the gods alone know where 

nor to dwell upon your lady's charms 

heading for the gods know where. 

The mighty Midgard-serpent's tail 

heading for the gods alone know where 

did writhe, and rise up like a flail 

heading for the gods know where. 

So heave me heroes, heave and haul 

Valhalla hails thee, one and all. 

The seas turned black as boiling tar 

heading for the gods alone know where 

and shadow-shrouds obscured our star 

heading for the gods know where. 

Then maggot-mouths munched on our hull 

heading for the gods alone know where 

as we drifted in this lurid-lull 

heading for the gods know where. 

So heave me heroes, heave and haul 

Valhalla hails thee, one and all. 

And as if this destiny was planned 

heading for the gods alone know where 

eventually we sighted land 

heading for the gods know where. 

So heave me heroes, heave and haul 

Valhalla hails thee, one and all.
