Glory Be To God

What must a man do to hold true to his beliefs
Murder for the right to be a free man
Or face the cold bite of iron swords?

Here we are, spit upon and called the pagans
For refusing to crawl with pining sheep
And kneel to a faith that was not mine

Burn our house and homes
All in the name of God
Bairns put to the sword
All in the name of God

Persecute, Absolute
Glory be to God
Resolute, Execute
Glory be to God

Invading armies under a banner white
Stained red from miles of villainous torture
To refuse their Lord is to die now

A traitorous king abusing his power
Olaf stains the blood of the All-father
For the sake of his Christian belief

Slaughtering our world
All in the name of God
Slay daughters and sons
All in the name of God

Persecute, Absolute
Glory be to God
Resolute, Execute
Glory be to God

Us few stand firm in the face of destruction
The cruel flames licking the ground around us
Trying to force us down to our knees

The Christian horde marches steadily forward
As I send a silent prayer to Thor
Give me the strength to stand without fear
