I went out to war
When the foreigners came
I fought for my home and my livestock
I defeated them
With my spear and my bow
So those home could eat and sleep
I drank and I cheered
I laughed and I boasted
Of my victories, my bravery and my strength
I told of the gold I found
How I slaughter them to the ground
I suddenly awakens
A cold and dark morning
With the livestock dead and escaped slaves
All the mead was drunk and friends gone
Then I went to the promising land
For once again to return home with honor
All who stood in my way
Should feel my strenth and wrath
By a river stood an old and weak man
He watched a boat that I needed
I was about to strike him down
But the sword bursted and
The old stood there and laughed
"Poor fool, who never understood
That a warrior shall fight against warriors
You never win if you only see ahead
And not within"
Suddenly the old one vanished
And the wind took the boat away
By the shore I stood and watched
But could not reach the other side
Then started the battle against the warrior
I always thought I knew.
