The Eastway Lyrics & Chords By Tears Of Magdalena

They came from the west
Through the storm across the sea
One thousand men armed
With their swords and shields
Somewere there was a strange land their never thought,
It would be so far from home
They sailed with their ships
Across the rivers and lakes
With courage and pride
Like proud sons of god Odin
The were varangians from the west - they were vikings,
The warriors of town holmgard
Then two tribes rebelled
Against their conquerors
Driving 'em overseas
Back into their land
After conflicts the tries invited 'em back,
To rule 'em, to bring order and peace
They roamed the rivers
Engaging in trade
Merchants who raided
And colonized new lands
They served as the bodyguards of the emperor,
The warriors of town miklagard
Hej skål hej
Hej skål hej
Nu skålar vi för dig, hej hej
They sailed with their ships
Across the rivers and lakes
With courage and pride
Like proud sons of god Odin
The were varangians from the west - they were vikings,
The warriors of town holmgard
They served as the bodyguards of the emperor,
The warriors of town miklagard
Hej skål hej
Hej skål hej
Nu skålar vi för dig, hej hej
