Altars On Fire

From the land of the storm they departed
And the wind of the plague they became
When they sent off the shore
Turned to red by the blood of the fallen

On the force of the wild we are facing
Lindisfarne was taken by fate
Not our god nor a prayer could help
But our trust as we call our saints

With no mercy, they plundered and slaved
Tainted the crown of the holy isle
Burnt the abbey to ruins

Can't give up, stick tonight, altars on fire
Can't deny, living together the weapon tonight
Can't give up, come to life, altars on fire
Can't defy here up tonight

To defend what was holy and sacred
We stood up by our weakness and fear
All aware to be slaughtered and torn by the wild
By their sword and spear

By the dawn, all the fewer survivors
They were taken as slaves under will
And the altar was burned and despised by the horde
As the godless killed

They brought agony, thunder and hate
Unsainted the halls of the sacred child
Burnt the altar to ruins

Can't give up, stick tonight, altars on fire
Can't deny, living together the weapon tonight
Can't give up, come to life, altars on fire
Can't defy up tonight, forever and never to fight
Stand up and pray the night we rise

Can't give up, stick tonight, altars on fire
Can't deny the weapon tonight
Can't give up, come alive, altars on fire
Can't defy up, forever and never to fight
Stand up and pray the night we rise
