Branded by the sun, hidden from the moon blinded by the snow, dreams that must stay untold stone axes at their side, cast ashore the endless tide wide-eyed they cry their song, staves raised against the sun
The gods curse you in this windswept land the northern star led us astray
Smoke rides to the sky, dancing on the wind stars disappear from sight, to fall in the endless night skin boats are left ashore, hid from the raven's eyes Skrealings from the woods, left a thorn in my side
The gods curse you in this windswept land the northern star led us astray
But then Karlsefni's men saw a huge number of boats coming from the south, pouring in like a torrent. This time all the sticks were being waved anti-clockwise and all the Skrealings were howling loudly, Karlsefni and his men now hoisted red shields and advanced towards them. When theyclashed there was a fierce battle and a hail of missiles came flying over, for the Skrealings were using catapults. Karlsefni and Snorri saw them hoist a large sphere on a pole; it was dark blue in colour. It came flying in over the heads of Karlsefni's men and made an ugly din when it struck the ground. This terrified Karlsefni and his men so much that their only thought was to flee, and they retreated farther up the river. They did not halt until they reached some cliffs, where they prepared to make a resolute stand. - Erik the Red's SagaTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
