Worship Forbidden

from Burning Scripture by Countess

/

lyrics

In the dark the loyal gather
To pay homage to the gods
Secretive in shadows hidden
For their worship is forbidden
White Christ now rules the land
Soon true faith to be forgotten
Still those loyal to their kin
Defiantly refuse to give in

The church destroyed our temples
Demolished the images of our gods
Still we defy the rule of Rome
Standing proud against all odds

Disregarding the new commandments
We secretly pray to the gods of yore
Torture awaits when we are exposed
While practising the ancient lore

In dark groves in desolate woods
Sparse torches light sacred rites
Oaths are spoken, holy mead flows
Here still the pagan fire glows
Our gods they did not abandon us
Neither shall we be led astray
Loyal we are and shall remain
Even tho’ it means torment and pain

Years pass and our ranks do thin
Persecution growing stronger still
Corrupt kings force the lie upon us
But never shall break our iron will

The worship forbidden will endure
No matter how few loyal ones remain
Our blood will pass on our faith
Through the age of the Christ’s reign

Centuries after the cross came north
The worship forbidden close to death
Yet storms raging and winds howling
Still whisper the wanderer’s breath
The usurpers’ power firmly in place
Bleak oppression our fate for so long
Yet thunder rolling and lightning striking
Still sing the mighty thunderer’s song

Our true faith has never been broken
By the treacherous one god’s lies
The dawn of awakening is at hand
Let all again hear pagan battle cries

Scripture is finally burnt to ashes
The sacred runes are cast once more
Centuries of oppression come to an end
All sing hymns to the gods of yore
