As the dragon cuts the waves

Strong winds take us east

Like the wings of a beast



Salt on my lips again

I put my face in the wind

Oh, let the the saga begin

Let the saga begin



Heading where brave have traveled

What eyes have never seen

Miklagard we're on our way

Where few have ever been



Danger, toil and trouble

Death may lie ahead

But I'd rather die in glory

Than fade away in bed



Free, so free

The waves of the see

The taste of the wind

Urging us on and the saga begins



Free, so free

In the storm you will see

Holding on with a grin

Odin with us let the saga begin



From Dorestadt in franconia

The best swords that are made

In gold they be weighted



Amber from Haithabu

The gold of our shore

We got plenty in store



We'll sell on eastern markets

And silken cloth we'll buy

Spices, glass and jewellery

A pleasure to the eye



There is a fortune waiting

For Those who choose this way

A saga to be written

To be told on future days
