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)
