Story:
When christianity took a firm hold of the Frisian soil, we got a vision from the gods. A beautifull new land was waiting for us. And thus, under the guidance of Njord we set off, not knowing where to go exactly.
We lived on the seas and made them our home until that one fateful day when skies broke open and on the horizon loomed the shores of what turned out to be the Faroe islands.
The vision once again came to our minds and thus it was clear: this island, Suðuroy, with the most southern part, Akraberch, would be our new home.

Lyrics:
Yn oertiid skoepen út it biente fan reuzen
Dy hege rjochterstoel
Bonkich berchte rizend út seeën sâlt
Neaken ûnder it himelferwulft
Soannen fan Borr, sy fôlen dyn skatkeamers
Rynske wetters en ivichgrien
Omjûn troch de rypreus syn swit
Aegir syn tsjeaken dy’t grimmitich mealle
Goudengleon strielt de sinne oer dyn antlit
Yn Aseherten sletten bisto
Wale fan skientme Breidablik gelyk
Tusken goadesealen stiesto boekstavere
Yn tsjoendersrûnten lústert dyn namme
Akraberch op Suderoy
Wêr’t sibben har waarmje mank fjurren
Wylst weagen rûnom bolderje en brekke
