| In the darkness where I rule the light
|
| where the sun seeks not to fall
|
| across oceans far from headland home
|
| to rule a frozen land below
|
| I am King… where is my crown?
|
| I am King… where is my crown?
|
| No master shall I trust again
|
| to no other man I’ll kneel
|
| where my own sword guides my fate
|
| where my hammer strikes the cross
|
| I seek further lands beyond this world
|
| I seek a name of high renown
|
| to carve my ancient runes on distant shores
|
| where my sons shall gain their fame
|
| I am King… where is my crown?
|
| I am King… where is my Crown?
|
| «The same spring King Olaf also sent Leif Erikson to Greenland to proclaim
|
| Christianity there, and Leif went there that summer… He took on the sea a
|
| ship’s crew who were at the time in great distress and were lying on a
|
| completely broken wreck, and on that same voyage he found Vinland the Good…
|
| People afterwards called him Leif the Lucky, but his father Erik said that
|
| Leif’S having rescued a ship’s crew and restored the men to life might be
|
| balanced against the fact that he had brought an impostor, as he called the
|
| priest, to Greenland.
