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

Cool song from the german Metalheads of Rebellion. It is taken from the album "Sagas of Iceland - The History of the Vikings Volume 1", a very great album. (Buy it, not load it if you like it) \m/

Lyrics:

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

@ all posters

Vikings are cool, but the first thing that counts is the MUSIC, and Rebellion makes great music. They would be great if they would make music about any other race as well.

@mowgdog

indeed, i think Tokugawa Ieyasu of feudal Japan made a good choice of banning christianity from Japan, it saved shinto and japanese culture.

@jin54363 Christianity has been the enemy of everyone for many years

@ERIK000000000 without the xd it could be a right statement

[whitemetalheads]

"He was taken at night

And tried to a stake" - I think it is "And TIED to a stake" in my opinion this makes more sense, but i'm not a native speaker so i'm not sure.

@drstein21

amon amarth is specially dedicated to Asatru and the great vikings and heroes of the North

[jin54363]
