Battle In The Ancient North Lyrics - Messiah

One thousand years ago 

The christians were marching up north 

To christanize the pagans 

To kill those who refused christ 

The headman of one village 

Was a great man named njal 

He had sworn an oath to the 

Mightiest of his gods 

Odin was thy name 

On sleipner he rode 

But the crusade was coming nearer 

And the people, they ran in fear 

Because oo many brave men was fallen 

For the christians were far too many

And one day in the village 

Men came with drawn swords 

The commander of the crusade: 

"Do you accept white-christ? 

Do not refuse, we'll burn your village! 

We will kill your sons 

We will rape your women! 

So... do you accept the bapizing, 

In the name of my god, and his holy 

Son, white-christ?" 

[Njal:] 

"Who is this white-christ? 

In the name of odin: 

I will challenge him!" 

The commander of the crusade: 

"Then die fool..."

[Njal:] 

"So pull your swords my men! 

For odin and thor we will gain! 

We will fight to the last breath! 

For odin we'll stab you to death!" 

Swords crossed, the blood were floweing 

As the battle raged 

The pagan men were fighting will 

But they were far roo few 

The crusaders were bathing in blood 

For white-christ they killed, raped and burned 

And on the ground lied njal 

His guts and blood were wide spread 

The village lies now in ruins 

But he prefered this before submission 

Another day, another time 

The ancient gods of the north 

Will seek revenge against christ 

And those thousand slained shall be avenged...
