Blood Rains (The Saga Of King Olaf Trygvason) - Rebellion

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
