The sun
It burns the night
Defining lines between the victims
And what will soon become the prey
I've giving up on counting blessings
The gods can judge me when I'm dead
'Cause I cannot take this anymore
I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox
Lost in paradox
The feeling of hatred burns my soul
I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox
Lost in paradox
I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head
'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge
I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head
'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge
Burning out and fading away
Two Paths
Can you stop the king?
Like Askeladd did back then?
Go home, Thorfinn.
You're a strange man, but it'd be a shame to kill you.
This is how the world works.
In the end, it's the mighty who get to write the rules.
Damned Vikings.
My foolish son.
You are not quite a king yet.
Why did you reveal your true desires to those lesser men?
Don't tell me you thought you would actually find a common understanding.
They're a poor flock of sheep.
You are an aloof shepherd.{check nf}
You must raise them, thin the herd, then harvest their skins.
How can sheep understand the duties of the shepherd?
There is only control.
That is what's best for the sheep.
Canute.
If you intend to see this madness through with force...
Kill him.
He's dangerous.
A single sheep can lead the entire flock astray and towards a cliff.
I will...
Kill him.
Do your job as king.
I will...
run.
You'll run...
That's it?
That is all?
What else can I do?
Should you and I attempt to kill each other here?
The paradise you describe saves many people and torments a few.
That's how it works, right?
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
I have no right to criticize your absurdity.
So all I can do is run.
Einar, let's go.
You are an exceptional warrior.
What?
Surely you have more options than that.
Did you...
Did you let yourself be beaten to a pulp just so you could stand before an emperor
and admonish him to his face?
And it didn't work.
Farewell, Your Majesty.
There are...
There are many who wish to bargain with me.
Some try to ensnare me, too.
But...
But you're unbelievable!
An absolute fool!
You don't have anything up your sleeve?
You came unarmed, took a terrible beating,
and had nothing more to say than to tell me not to take the farm?
Is it really that funny?
Oh, it is.
I've never participated in such a preposterous peace negotiation before.
So you will run.
Yeah.
So the Vikings are capable of producing someone like you.
You're a beautiful man.
Where will you go to escape conflict?
Somewhere that's not here.
I can't tell you where.
My territory only continues to expand.
Perhaps my power will reach you eventually.
I'll run as far as I have to.
As long as there's a place to run, I won't fight.
I will go to a place beyond your reach as the king
and build a land of peace through different means.
For the sake of those who cannot live in the world you create.
For your sake,
and for mine.
So you're saying you will fill the hole left by my great work?
And are you capable of such a thing?
My power is far smaller than yours.
The hole you make might be too big for me.
If you continue to persecute others like this,
sooner or later, no one will be able to save you.
So do some work.
Don't make my job harder.
You really have become rather eloquent.
I wonder who you got that from.
Very fascinating.
I've never had such a difficult peace negotiation before.
What... the fuck?
The ships are gone.
Where have you gone, King Canute?
You can't be serious!
Our battle hasn't been settled yet!
Floki was mighty displeased.
He did not see why you would withdraw from the farm.
Are you displeased as well, Wulf?
No.
We will reconsider our plan to claim the farm of others.
I wouldn't want to make Thorfinn's job harder.
Until now,
I had thought you were the only one truly fighting at my side.
But today,
I have gained new companions.
Later, Canute ordered the disbandment of the Danish army stationed in England
that had been pressuring English finances.
In the end, Canute's Danish forces dwindled to a mere 16 ships.
However, the English uprising that people feared would occur never happened.
The English nobility realized the trust Canute had placed in them
when he relinquished his military forces,
and the relationship between conqueror and conquered began to change.
It feels good.
As long as you're alive, you can...
Why do I have to live?
Thorfinn...
Are you good now?
Yeah.
I still feel a little dizzy, but I'm fine.
Don't do crazy stuff like that.
Sorry.
Are we going, Thorfinn?
To the land beyond the sea.
You mean Vinland.
Vinland.
When Arnheid drew her last breath,
I couldn't answer her right away.
I couldn't tell her why she had to live.
What am I supposed to say to a soul that's been through hell
and yearns for the peace of death?
I want a world where I can tell people to live.
One I can proudly describe to people whose only salvation is death.
A place more appealing than death.
That's all we ever wanted in the world.
That's all we ever wanted in this world we live in!
I won't back down.
If a place like that doesn't exist...
then I'll make one.
Einar.
Come with me, brother.
We'll build a country of peace in Vinland.
One we can proudly tell Arnheid about.
Let's do it, brother.
We'll go beyond the sea to create a land without slavery or war.
For Arnheid.
Are you sure you're okay with this?
It wasn't my place to do that anyway.
I've told the master and everyone on the farm
that it was the young master who convinced the king to withdraw.
Thank you.
You can count on me to protect Arnheid's grave.
Truly, I cannot thank you enough.
Oh, it was...
Thorfinn, I want to be like you.
Strong and kind like you.
A real man.
Olmar, I heard you made the decision to stop fighting.
That's amazing.
It took me fifteen years to do that.
But...
I've finally figured out what I should do.
This is a wonderful farm.
I hope you'll rebuild and protect it.
Old master,
thank you very much.
You were always helping us out.
I told you, it was just a deal we made.
You shouldn't be thanking me.
I wish he would've taken at least a single silver mark.
Thorfinn, Einar!
My name is Roald!
Roald, son of Grim!
Thank you, Roald!
Take care, everyone!
Come here.
Good boy.
Carve it.
Hup!
Carve it into your flesh. Carve it into the land.
Carve it into the sea.
Carve it into your spoils. Carve it into your enemies.
Carve it.
Boss, when are you going to start working?
Come on!
Shut up. I was just taking a little break.
I'll show you what farm work really looks like.
Oh, yeah? Let's see it, then.
I'll get this done in a snap.
Carve what you feel into me.
In my life, I've always endured.
I thought that pain was the way of the world.
I never thought I'd meet men like them.
Right, Arnheid?
They're headed toward a world we never even imagined.
Someplace that's not here.
Carve that encounter into me.
Somewhere in the distance
{ED shift}
I hear joy in a song I'll never know
This curse, I can't take it
I pray for the dying everglow{EVERGLOW IS NOT A WORD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE}
You know I can't wither away
Over the shadows, deliverance awaits
Time is still racing like a river day by day
Forge through the darkness
Towards a limitless world
Just trying to find a place where I belong
I know it's somewhere out there
Our heaven
The flame within will burn forever
There is no gloom, not here{waiting for jp lyrics to finalize}
In unforgiving darkness, just count the stars
Hold up the guiding light
Be torn towards distant lands
Live the moment
Home
"Home."
