Blood Of The Gods

from Burning Scripture by Countess

/

lyrics

A shadow fell upon the north
When to our soil came the cross
The fair lands of our fathers
Did suffer an unimaginable loss

Priests and soldiers took away
Our way of life, our very soul
Our gods they strove to cast out
And no longer were we whole

Our holy oaks were cut down
The white Christ’s churches did rise
Our hearts were now filled with woe
Oppressed by priests and their lies

(chorus)
Blood of the gods
Flows through our veins
With our gods we stand
To forever crush our chains

For centuries we fought the Christ
With every defeat bitter tears we wept
In our hearts still true to our gods
But memory faded and long they slept

Never did they abandon us their kin
In song and story the gods did survive
Even when their worship we forsook
In our blood they were always alive

The wanderer strode the earth no more
Yet he rode with the Wild Hunt as before
No longer the thunderer walked among us
Still his hammer let the thunder roar

(chorus)

Our blood is theirs as theirs is ours
Too strong for Latin prayers to subdue
The white Christ never truly victorious
To our gods our blood always was true

The time of awakening is now at hand
Our gods emerge from their age of sleep
Our swords will sing their names out loud
The time has come for our foe to weep

As long as we draw breath our gods are with us
Their might forever present in our blood
Their glorious temples and statues resurrected
Never again shall we bow to a false god

(chorus)
