Verse
Eb5          C#5          Eb5  C#5 Eb5    C#5
Long have I drifted without a course
  F#5               Ab5       Bb5
A rudderless ship I have sailed
    Eb5              C#5          Eb5  C#5 F#5    
The Nile just keeps flowing without a source
C#5            Ab5         Bb5
Maybe all the seekers just failed?


Bridge

To Holmgard and beyond

In search of a bond

But the road has just begun

Verse
In astonishing colours the East meets the West
The hill-banks arise in their green
In wonder I sit on my empty chest
As we glide down the strait in between


Bridge
To Holmgard and beyond
In search of a bond
Distant church bells toll
For their god they chant and troll


Pre-Chorus 1
Breathing history
Veiled in mystery
The sublime
The greatest of our time
Tsargrad!

The Norwegian of rank
In the court of The Prince

Verse
My sun rose in the North and now sets in the South
The Golden Horn lives up to its name
From tower to tower a chain guards its mouth
Unbreakable, they claim


Bridge
To Holmgard and beyond
In a search of a bond
Adventures lie ahead
Many knots lie unravelled on my thread

The sublime
The greatest of our time
