Pestilent Age - Baptizing the Rus' Lyrics

Conquered land a legacy down Odin's path victory
Favored by the one eyed god who guides our ships to lands afar
Thor Odin Freya Tyre
The fate the Norns have carved out leads us
To Valhalla to feast beside the gods to await Ragnarok
Those deemed unfit reside in Hel ruled by Helliem
The wicked the sick and those who've died of old age
A thousand year belief now under attack a threat from the south Christianity
A thousand year belief now under attack a threat from the south Christianity
The end of an age battle of gods without Fenrir Jormungandr
Fading away from ritual the winds of change hammer meets cross
The grand prince of Kiev Vladimir the Great answering Byzantine comes to Basil's aid
Under the condition to wed to convert Basil's Sister Anne forcing unity
Conversion brings rebellion bound to change a way of life
Unwilling was Novgorod forced upon the city Kiev
Burning the sacred systematic purge cut down defiance killing the old gods
The hammer of Thor presence of Odin no longer at hand no blood offerings
To die in battle without Valhalla without Fenrir without Jormungandr
Lost identity traveling this world stripped of our culture from our beliefs
Baptizing the Rus' purging our their own religion abandon the gods trading culture for unity
Baptizing the Rus' purging our their own religion abandon the gods trading culture for unity
The fate the Norns had carved out led us to Valhalla to feast beside the gods to await Ragnarok
Those deemed unfit reside in Hel ruled by Helliem
The wicked the sick and those who've died of old age
Baptizing the Rus' destroying heritage casting the gods aside no longer
Viking burning our own shrines murdering our priests
Baptizing the Rus' purging our their own religion abandon the gods trading culture for unity
Baptizing the Rus' purging our their own religion abandon the gods trading culture for unity
Baptizing the Rus' destroying heritage casting the gods aside no longer
Viking burning our own shrines murdering our priests
