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
