A Portage To The Unknown

[Intro: Turisas (All)] 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 [Verse 1: Mathias Nygård] 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 [Verse 2: Mathias Nygård] 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 [Chorus: Turisas (All)] 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 [Bridge: Mathias Nygård] Six regular edges and six vertices Six equilateral triangles Six square faces in another dimension Plato's earth transparent [Chorus: Turisas (All)] 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 [Verse 3: Mathias Nygård] 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 [Instrumental] [Verse 4: Mathias Nygård] 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
