Through Fields and Fumbles - West Coast AI (Whimsical Medieval Power Metal)

"Through Fields and Fumbles" is a humorous power metal ballad and the third installment in the saga of the bumbling Viking crew from "Through Storm and Gale" and "Through Snow and Frost." This time, the Vikings attempt to build a settlement in Vinland under the determined leadership of their competent chieftain. Despite his efforts, the crew's clumsiness leads to a series of comedic mishaps, such as Bjorn mistaking his foot for a toad and Sven excelling only at berry gathering. The song captures their journey through various blunders, highlighting the chieftain’s patience and leadership as they navigate the challenges of their new home, ultimately finding a way to survive through laughter and teamwork.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
In Vinland’s land, they set their sights,
A crew of Vikings, through days and nights.
The chieftain led with plans so grand,
To build a home in this new land.
But as they worked with tools in hand,
Their clumsy ways, they filled the sand.
Pre-Chorus 1:
The chieftain groaned, “We must be tough,”
“With these fools, it’s bound to be rough.”
Chorus:
Oh, they tried to settle, through fields and fumbles,
With a crew so daft, they always stumble.
Yet the chieftain’s might, kept them on the path,
Even when Bjorn tried to milk a calf.
Sigurd got seasick, on dry land still,
Thorvald tried hunting with a quill.
Still, they learned, through laughter and toil,
Chieftain’s wisdom and a bit of Norse soil.
Verse 2:
They built their huts, so crooked and bent,
With roofs that leaked wherever they went.
Thorvald planted crops in winter’s frost,
While Olaf’s axe got hopelessly lost.
The chieftain’s patience wore so thin,
But still he guided his foolish kin.
Pre-Chorus 2:
“Odin help us, what a sight,”
“To build a home in this endless night.”
Chorus:
Oh, they tried to settle, through fields and fumbles,
With a crew so daft, they always stumble.
Yet the chieftain’s might, kept them on the trail,
Even when Bjorn thought a tree was a whale.
Erik cooked mushrooms that made them see stars,
Olaf got stuck between two bars.
Still, they learned, through laughter and toil,
Chieftain’s wisdom and a bit of Norse soil.
Bridge:
They faced wild beasts and bitter cold,
With Sven’s berries, their only gold.
“Curse this land,” the chieftain cried,
“Yet still we’ll stand, side by side.”
Verse 3:
In time they found a way to thrive,
With clumsy hands, they stayed alive.
The chieftain’s crew, though far from bright,
Worked through their days and endless night.
And Sven with berries, his only skill,
Helped them endure each winter’s chill.
Pre-Chorus 3:
They built a home with laughter loud,
“Our foolish ways, we’re still so proud.”
Chorus:
Oh, they tried to settle, through fields and fumbles,
With a crew so daft, they always stumble.
Yet the chieftain’s might, kept them on the road,
Even when Bjorn mistook his foot for a toad.
Ragnar tried fishing with a spear too short,
Leif got tangled in his own fort.
Still, they learned, through laughter and toil,
Chieftain’s wisdom and a bit of Norse soil.
Final Chorus:
Oh, they tried to settle, through fields and fumbles,
With a crew so daft, they always stumble.
Yet the chieftain’s might, kept them on their way,
Even when Bjorn mistook moss for hay.
Thorstein brewed ale that made them sleep,
Erik got lost in a snowbank deep.
Still, they learned, through laughter and toil,
Chieftain’s wisdom and a bit of Norse soil.
