Through Snow and Frost - West Coast AI (Whimsical Medieval Power Metal)

Подробнее о видео

"Through Snow and Frost" is a humorous power metal song about a group of Viking adventurers from the same village as the ones in the song "Through Storm and Gale." This time, the bumbling crew mistakenly sails to Finland instead of Vinland. They are bewildered by the cold, the strange language spoken by the locals, and the proximity of Finland to their homeland. Despite their numerous blunders, including mistaking animals for landmarks, they manage to survive the harsh conditions. The song humorously contrasts their misadventures with the warmer, more desirable destination of Vinland, where their cousin Sven enjoys the warmth and berries.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Another voyage from the Viking town,
A crew set sail with hopes renowned,
The chieftain’s kin, so bold, so keen,
Bound for Vinland, or so it seemed.
But as they sailed with winds so strong,
Their course was skewed, their path was wrong.

Pre-Chorus 1:
The helmsman laughed, “We’re almost there!”
“By Thor’s hammer, this feels rare!”

Chorus:
Oh, they sailed to Finland, through snow and frost,
With a crew so lost, no sense of cost.
Yet their spirits high, they braved the chill,
Even when Leif thought a bear was a hill.
Rolf got frostbite, cursed at the sail,
Gunnar slipped on a frozen pail,
Still, they landed, on the icy shore,
Chieftain’s kin and their clueless folklore.

Verse 2:
They marveled at the land so cold,
Where people spoke with words untold,
“Is this Vinland?” they asked with cheer,
But the locals’ tongues were strange to hear.
They bundled up in fur and hide,
Longing for the warmer tide.

Pre-Chorus 2:
“Odin’s beard, this place is odd,”
“To think we’re here, it’s all a fraud!”

Chorus:
Oh, they sailed to Finland, through snow and frost,
With a crew so lost, no sense of cost.
Yet their spirits high, they braved the chill,
Even when Leif thought a bear was a mill.
Erik made snowmen, thinking they’d melt,
Thorvald slipped, and on ice he knelt,
Still, they landed, on the icy shore,
Chieftain’s kin and their clueless folklore.

Bridge:
They huddled close, in freezing air,
Dreaming of warmth, the sweet repair,
"Curse this cold, give me berries like Sven,"
Instead of this frostbitten glen.

Verse 3:
They learned that Finland wasn’t far,
From their home, just ‘neath the northern star,
“By Freya’s grace, how did we err?”
“To think Vinland was just right there.”
They laughed and sang, despite the cold,
With tales of Sven and berries bold.

Pre-Chorus 3:
The chieftain’s kin, they shook their heads,
“For warmer climes and Sven’s warm beds.”

Chorus:
Oh, they sailed to Finland, through snow and frost,
With a crew so lost, no sense of cost.
Yet their spirits high, they braved the chill,
Even when Leif thought a bear was a grill.
In Finland’s fields, they found a tale,
Of foolish kin who set the sail,
Still, they made it, though not to Vinland’s shore,
Chieftain’s kin and their clueless folklore.

Final Chorus:
Oh, they sailed to Finland, through snow and frost,
With a crew so lost, no sense of cost.
Yet their spirits high, they braved the chill,
Even when Leif thought a bear was a krill.
In Finland’s fields, they found their tale,
Of foolish kin who set the sail,
Still, they made it, though not to Vinland’s shore,
Chieftain’s kin and their clueless folklore.
