We Who Ruled the North Lyrics


For many ages of men

In the frostbitten lands

The grim and watchful gods

Ruled over the north

Now kneel down under the crosses

Casting shadows on the world

Surrender to the trinity

Of father, son and holy ghost

The heathen kings subdued

Denying their beliefs

The monuments of the old gods

Crumbled into dust

Now kneel down under the crosses

Casting shadows on the world

Surrender to the trinity

Of father, son and holy ghost

On ships they came

To the northern lands

Bringing the cross

With a sword in their hand

Now kneel down under the crosses

Casting shadows on the world

Surrender to the trinity

Of father, son and holy ghost

Never kneel down under the crosses

(Never kneel down)

Casting shadows on the world

(Deep black shadows)

Never surrender to the trinity

(Never surrender)

Of father, son and holy ghost

(Holy ghost)
