Chain of the Golden Horn - Leaves' Eyes

Running to the galeids

Of the Væringjar

Tonight we will escape from Miklagard

Rowing fast

Rowing strong

Into Sjåvidarsund

We are leaving the great city

We served — we were fighting for for years

Taken out of the prison

By the lady of distinction

In this night we’re rowing hard

Sail thence to the Black Sea

Drawn across the sound

To keep all enemies out

We glide on the dark sea tounge

Down the chain of the Golden Horn

Drawn across the sound

To keep all enemies out

We glide on the dark sea tounge

Down the chain of the Golden Horn

Run up to the line

Made of iron strong

Our galleys sliding off the edge of knife

Rowing fast

Rowing strong

Out of Sjavidarsund

We are leaving the great city

We lived — we were dying for for years

One ship burst in two

Only one ship made it through

In this night we’re rowing out

Sail thence to the Black Sea

Drawn across the sound

To keep all enemies out

We glide on the dark sea tounge

Down the chain of the Golden Horn

Drawn across the sound

To keep all enemies out

We glide on the dark sea tounge

Down the chain of the Golden Horn

Chain of the Golden Horn

Glowing gold decks king’s hand

Got plenty in this land

Great emperor in the strife

He was made stone-blind

Norse king’s mark won’t adorn

His mark gives cause to mourn

Great emperor in the strife

He was made stone-blind

For all his life

Drawn across the sound

To keep all enemies out

We glide on the dark sea tounge

Down the chain of the Golden Horn

Drawn across the sound

To keep all enemies out

We glide on the dark sea tounge

Down the chain of the Golden Horn

Chain of the Golden Horn
