Eriks Saga lyrics

There was a man called Thorvald who was the father of Erik the Red/ He and Erik left their home in Jaedern, in Norway,/ because of some killings and went to Iceland,/ which had been extensively settles by then/ Erik married Thjodhild and moved south to make his home at Erikstead,/ near Vatnhorn/ They had a son called Leif// He was our leader/ He took us to conquest/ He said// Folk, Skal vi gå, kom med meg, folk, følg meg og slå alle og slå/ Vi er kraften, ni skal tro, vi er vikingene og menn av nord/ Dra ut hornene og slå og tenk at ingen aldri stopper oss!!// Erik's wife didn't want to sleep with this heathen man, but he respected her// Folk... og tenk at han var en hedensk man
