I can read Anglo-saxon runes, and the runes on the album cover are actually the first few lines of this very song. So yes, it is about the Anglo saxons.
As for the cross, it could be a different symbol, but according to wikipedia the Christianization of the Anglo-saxon kingdoms began in AD 597, so it may not be too much of a stretch to think it was the christian cross.
