Krossanes

With storm and wind, and cast ashore
Our ship is smashed, our keel no more
For many days, of toil and rest
Erect our keel on Kjalarnes.

For days we sailed, then settled in
And found the home of Skraeling men
This place I wished to live my life
Is now my tomb, to rest and die.

At Krossanes, where my spirit dies
You raise the sign, the sign of foreign lies
My father's faith, his blood in mine
The northern light, forever shines again.

My life is spent, my doom revealed
The arrow's flight, that pierced my shield
That cursed point, that took my life
Will send me far, to Odin's side.

Will my kin return, to bring me home
Or will I stay, on barren shores
That cursed cross, wheighs on my soul
My people's fate, my people's heart.

At Krossanes, where my spirit dies
You raise the sign, the sign of foreign lies
My father's faith, his blood in mine
The northern light, forever shines again.
