H / Helreið / Migrations (Towards the Promise Land)
Loud the wind blows up behind and the ships rush on with sails swollen about to tear On the angry sea. With sloping masts and dipping prow the keels slip fast, to fulfil the prophecy to escape the end
On the wasted shore of the bay on the day when all began a few men left, we gathered around our guides: seven sages, the highest priests they arranged the flight.
"We have been chosen by the Ruler! Now we must go... before it's too late!"
How far shall we sail to the land we long? How long must we wait for the shining sun? Silent darkness all around but our desperate cries. The storm is far away but fears still here.
Merciless intelligence planned our destiny, destroyed our age, our land, our life. So many days we drifted, and crossed the endless sea
"Now be prepared to face the unknown, ready to leave... towards our fate!"
Migrations on the ships of hope Migrations to the age of the new sun we now let winds and streams draw our destiny Migrations A new life to begin.
Desperate... our people is all distressed. A desert sea, no land, no light, no sun. Heavy clouds, grey, now they shade into... the dark blue sea, On the flat far horizon. Was it all worth now that we are dying? Was it all worth now that all is lost and far our land?
A beam of light, oh Gods may it all be true. A spot of land, highlighted by the sun... the clouds now break, the sky is blue above, darkness and doubt are now defeated.
"Land ho!" a cry broke out, and the spell was snapped, once more we viewed the ocean a faithful friend. A sweet breeze started now blowing on our hopes, as breath of life, it flew the ship onwards.
And now our worried thoughts turned into our mates, lost in the rage of the fiery storm. Sad but finally safe, we reached our destiny.
So we succeeded in facing the unknown, going towards ...the Promised Land! Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
