Because of some killings and went to Iceland,
Which had been extensively settles by then
Erik married Thjodhild and moved south to make his home at Erikstead,

He was our leader
He took us to conquest
He said.

Folk, Skal vi g, kom med meg, folk, flg meg og sl alle og sl
Vi er kraften, ni skal tro, vi er vikingene og menn av nord
Dra ut hornene og sl og tenk at ingen aldri stopper oss!!

Erik's wife didn't want to sleep with this heathen man, but he respected her.

Folk... og tenk at han var en hedensk man.

He was our leader
He took us to conquest
He said.
