The Great Escape

Word I bring from far up North

Songs I sing from you nephew's court

Convened Ting on the death of Harthacnut

Proclaimed king and the Danes saluteEnd you exile Your claim to the throne is strong

Svein's your ally The Swedes will fight alongNorway awaits me It's time to cross the north sea

First I must break free We could ask Constantine?I'm needed elsewhere... No way, my troops I can not spare!

This seems quite unfair... Can't you hear? My answer is NO!My Basileus, my Emperor

I have honourably served this kingdom

Sand have I won, and furthermore

Blood of Saracens have flowed by my work of swordMy Basileus, my Emperor

You have left me no choice but to escape

Taking my men, and from the Horn

We are breaking our way out after nightfall"This is insane, we're trapped in the sound!"

Row for all you're worth, despair to mirth!

"The chain will not break, there's no way around!"

Over we shall go! So, hasten now, from stern to bowTilt the galley over, for no emperor nor chain will stand in my way!Man the oars! Out to the sea!

Bid farewell and wave goodbye

Because gentlemen, we are heading home!Rising, a new rising

New kingdoms await

New lands there to take

Your son's heading homeHe's a viking, the last of The Vikings

With chests full of gold

Great tales to be told

Your king's heading home
