A king arises with the promise of light
But the Jarls who held him high
Were soon to see that they followed a lie
Wise magicians and healing women
Put to the stake by royal hands
Baptized they would not be
And so in flames their life did end
Odin thy face
It fades in the blood
The heathen oaks burned
It's the end of a god
Blood rains from the sky
Love is just a christian lullaby
I can't believe I'd rather die
Blood rains from the sky
Preaching love while tortured victims cry
I won't believe I'd rather die
Bondes who would not dip in the water
At the Althing he had put them dead
A royal smile a lie on the lips
Believe in Christ or drink burning lead
Raud a mighty Jarl on the isle
He was taken at night and tried to a stake
His house on flames
Yet he would not fold his hands
Condemned to death
He had to swallow a snake
Odin thy face
It fades in the blood
The heathen oaks burned
It's the end of a god
Blood rains from the sky
Love is just a christian lullaby
I can't believe I'd rather die
Blood rains from the sky
Preaching love while tortured victims cry
I won't believe I'd rather die
On the blackened eve of destruction A king arises with the promise of light But the Jarls who held him high Were soon to see that they followed a lie Wise magicians and healing women Put to the stake by royal hands Baptized they would not be And so in flames their life did end Odin thy face It fades in the blood The heathen oaks burned It's the end of a god Blood rains from the sky Love is just a christian lullaby I can't believe I'd rather die Blood rains from the sky Preaching love while tortured victims cry I won't believe I'd rather die Bondes who would not dip in the water At the Althing he had put them dead A royal smile a lie on the lips Believe in Christ or drink burning lead Raud a mighty Jarl on the isle He was taken at night and tried to a stake His house on flames Yet he would not fold his hands Condemned to death He had to swallow a snake Odin thy face It fades in the blood The heathen oaks burned It's the end of a god Blood rains from the sky Love is just a christian lullaby I can't believe I'd rather die Blood rains from the sky Preaching love while tortured victims cry I won't believe I'd rather die Explain Request ×
