Rasmussen


In an interview, Rasmussen explains that the song is about trying to solve conflicts by peaceful means and refraining from the use of violence.
Quote: "That's why the song is also about being able to take a step back and solve conflicts in a different way than just thrusting a sword into the belly of someone, you are facing. So, it has a message of peace."
In the same interview, Rasmussen explains that the song is inspired by the legend of Magnus Erlendsson - a late Viking age chieftain.
Ships in the making
Bound for a distant shore
World for the taking
Men gone forever more
Boarding and setting sail
Yet victory won't prevail

Freeze the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Be the first to turn around
Take the leap to land on higher ground

Call in, surrender
Still, I won't feel like defeat
Men laying down their swords
Each of their own accord

Freeze the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Be the first to turn around
Take the leap to land on higher ground

Raise the banner to the sky
Face the fear and hold your head up high
Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
Take the leap like you were bound for higher ground

Freeze the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there

Freeze the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Be the first to turn around
Take the leap to land on higher ground
Be the first to turn around
Take the leap to land on higher ground

L’ALTURA

Navi in cantiere
Destinate a lidi lontani
Un mondo pronto per essere conquistato

Uomini scomparsi per l’eternità
Che s’imbarcano e prendono il largo
Ma la vittoria non prevarrà

Blocca la freccia a mezz’aria
Lascia il tuo segno e fa’ che resti
Sii il primo a invertire la rotta
Fai un balzo e atterra una spanna più in alto
Fare un balzo verso un’altura

Chiamala resa
Ma non sembrerà comunque una sconfitta
Gl’uomini mettono giù le spade
Ognuno di propria spontanea volontà

Blocca la freccia a mezz’aria
Lascia il tuo segno e fa’ che resti
Sii il primo a invertire la rotta
Fai un balzo e atterra una spanna più in alto

Alza lo stendardo al cielo
Affronta la paura a testa alta

Fai un balzo come se volessi arrivare su un’altura
Fare un balzo verso un’altura

Blocca la freccia a mezz’aria
Lascia il tuo segno e fa’ che resti

Blocca la freccia a mezz’aria
Lascia il tuo segno e fa’ che resti
Sii il primo a invertire la rotta
Fai un balzo e atterra una spanna più in alto, sì

Sii il primo a invertire la rotta
Fai un balzo e atterra una spanna più in alto
