Water running
Stronger, rougher
Holding on to anything
{shift}
All I want is to survive it
If I let go, will it be the end of me?
Got to move on
Held on too long
Sweep me away
Out into the ocean
Mighty river, release my soul
I need to see the world
To the unknown, I'll go against my sorrow
Mighty river, release my soul out to the open gold
I can't stay here forever in this hollow
Oh, river, take me out
Take me away, river
Oh, river, take me out
Take me out to the unknown
Oh, river, take me out
Take me away, river
Oh, river, take me out
Take me out to the unknown
Out into the ocean
Carve it.
Carve it into your flesh.
Carve it into the land.
Carve it into the sea.
Carve it into your enemies.
Carve it into your spoils.
Carve it.
Carve that warmth into me.
Slave
Einar!
What are you doing?!
I could ask you the same thing!
Why're you attackin' that tree?
You tryna crush the house?
Are you gonna be a woodcutter, Einar?
No.
I'm training for battle.
Behold my power!
You're a big lad, but you'd be useless in battle.
Get ready for lunch.
I'm so hungry...
You didn't have to throw a knife at me.
You're holding dishes and spoons.
You wouldn't mind a dish?
They say bears have to eat lots before winter.
Huh.
So, why are you trainin' again all of a sudden?
Thankya.
Well, it's because I gotta protect this place.
After it was all burnt to ashes, it's finally been rebuilt.
I'm not letting that happen again.
I'm sure Dad would—
Mister Guthmur's milk is so good.
Right? That man knows his way around a teat!
What are you doin' with your hands? It's so creepy.
Hey, listen to me!
Gross!
Don't bother.
Don't poke your nose into warrior stuff.
Doesn't it frustrate you, always being on the losing side?
Dad died protecting us.
That's right.
And you're alive.
You've rebuilt this village,
and you're eating a delicious meal with two beautiful ladies.
We haven't lost at all.
Hey.
Hey, how are you?
Hurry up!
Listen closely.
Once we enter the woods, I want you to run.
Follow the river, and...
Lotta.
Mom.
Don't think. Just run straight ahead.
Your brother and I will be with you.
Mom!
You ready? Let's get you up.
Mom!
Einar, run.
Leave me.
I'm not...
Come on.
Stand, damn it.
Mom?
Mom!
Mom...
Silly girl...
There are still people over there.
Hey, they've got women, too!
We're on our way, girls!
Stand up, Einar.
Take Lotta and go. Hurry!
Mom...
Even a dying old hag can still manage.
Live.
As long as you're alive, you can...
Ei...nar...
Lotta...
Why aren't they running?
Hey, she's pretty cute.
Your mom's dead, isn't she?
Lotta!
Let go!
Einar!
Lotta!
Let go of her!
Einar!
How dare you!
Einar! Einar!
You'll pay for—
What the hell did you do that for?!
She freakin' stabbed me!
Aw, man. What a waste.
Nothing we can do about it.
Let's sell the kid for beer money.
You're such a dumbass.
I'm sorry, okay?
Come on. Let's go, beer money.
A fir on a barren land withers With neither bark nor leaves So too does the man loved by none Why should he live a long life?
— Hávamál
How is she?
She's not gonna make it.
Shit.
Fine, let's move her.
Heave-ho!
Hey!
Hey, what the hell was that for?
You didn't need to throw her overboard!
Good. No swelling.
We're handing out blankets.
Keep yourselves warm.
We paid a fortune for you lot.
Don't go getting sick without our say so.
At the very least, stay healthy until we find a buyer for you.
Got it?
Come on, hurry up!
Take in that sail!
That's right.
I have to live.
Don't skip the liquor.
It'll improve your color.
Clean every nook and cranny, especially your heads.
Check each other for lice.
How's this?
The hair's fine.
Could you do her makeup so she looks a little younger?
Well? Pretty good selection this time, don't you think?
All second-rate crap.
There you go again.
You won't find anything better than ours!
That's right. I can't stay there.
I'll run away. As long as I survive, I can try again.
Hup...
Thief!
Sorry!
Hey there, Einar.
You still don't get it, do you?
Listen closely, slaves!
Your homes are far, far away!
No matter how much you struggle, you're never getting back to them!
And needless to say,
there is nobody who will help you escape!
Because you are outsiders.
You are penniless.
You are slaves!{split}
You will be taken in by gentle masters and spend your lives in honest servitude!
You will eat far better than the miserable scraps you'd get on the run!
Think of yourself before you go off on a little adventure!
You got that, Einar?
I have to live...
Well, he's not bad, but have you got any boys with a cuter face?
Ah, I see.
In that case, we've got some special products for you to look at.
Oh, really? I like the sound of that.
I'm sure you'll find them satisfactory.
They're right.
Even if I blindly ran away, I wouldn't know where I was going.
And besides...
I don't have anywhere to go back to.
As long as I obediently serve some master somewhere...
I'm telling you, you sure are lucky.
We just got a huge batch in.
Look, that's him.
Isn't he the one you're looking for?
He looks nothing like him!
He's not blond or small!
Huh?
Now that I get a better look, I guess that's not him.
That aside, what do you think?
He's strong and tough. If you buy him now—
I told you, I'm not here to buy a worker!
I'm only here to free a relative!
I'm certain he came to this town.
Blond and small...
His name is Thorfinn.
You really have no idea where he is?
I'm sorry.
And sorry to have bothered you.
No problem. Come again soon.
He's never gonna find him.
So he's walking around looking for his relative.
Whoever he's looking for is one lucky guy.
You there.
Do you speak our tongue?
Show me your teeth.
What's your name?
Einar.
Where are you from? What did you do before?
I was a farmer in Northern England.
Oh?
What do you say, Einar?
Would you like to help out on my farm?
A farm...
Einar! This way!
The family is out working now.
You will be introduced to them at dinner.
Yes, master.
But first, take a look at my farm.
Hey, Mom. Was that really true?
Live or die, I'll never be free again.
You still think I haven't lost?
My family was taken from me.
I lost my home. I lost everything.
I didn't even know what the point of living was anymore.
Thorfinn, it's me. Come here.
"I'll be bought by a good master and do my best to serve him."
"As long as I'm an obedient slave, I won't starve."
I was beginning to think that way.
Thorfinn...
That was...
how Thorfinn and I met.
Time and time again, my hopes are gone
It's like a never-ending marathon
I hear voices every night of the ones I left behind that I love
I'm trying to find the place where I belong
Until I do, I guess I'll carry on
Trapped in every sacrifice
Feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
No freedom
Without love
I played the game of life and had a ball
Crazy of me to think I had it all
I kept holding on to the power and lost my freedom
I guess I had to learn there is no freedom without love
