A Portage to the Unknown lyrics

We've sailed across the sea

Rowed for miles and miles upstream

Passed by Aldeigjuborg

Seen Lake Ilmen gleam

Ingvar took the lead

After Holmgard as agreed

What the end of Lovat meant

Was soon to be seen

Dripping with sweat a new day dawn on

The ropes cut flesh, as they've done in times foregone

I see my breath, my hands are going numb

Far from home we have come

An endless trail in front of my eyes

A swift take off, had no time for goodbyes

What will we find and what was left behind

There's no return, get it off your mind

The water's changed to sand

Lakes and rivers turned to land

Plough up the rocky seas

Ride felled down trees

Foot by foot we edge

Once a ship, now a sledge

Six regular edges and six vertices

Six equilateral triangles

Six square faces in another dimension

Plato's earth transparent

Give me all you have!

Pull as hard as you can

Plough up the rocky seas

Ride felled down trees

The water's changed to sand

Lakes and rivers turned to land

The rug has been pulled from under my feet

All my life made of lies and deceit

All I have left is a symbol on my chest

My only lead on my desperate quest

Branded at birth with the sign of Perun

East of the sun and West of the moon

The road now continues, Northwind be my guide

Wherever I'm going, the Gods are on my side
