[Verse 1]

From the land of the storm they departed

And the wind of the plague they became

When the sand of the shore

Turned to red by the blood of the fallen

[Verse 2]

All the force of the wild we were facing

Lindisfarne was taken by fate

Not our god nor a prayer could help

But our trust as we call the saints

[Pre-Chorus]

With no mercy they plundered and slaved

Tainted the ground of the holy isle

Burnt the abbey to ruins

[Chorus]

Can't give up

Stand tonight

Altars on fire

Can't deny

Get up together to weather the night

Can't give up

Come to life

Altars on fire

Can't defy

Gather tonight

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

By the dawn all the few of survivors

They were taken as slaves under will

And the altar was burned and despised

By the horde, as the godless killed

[Pre-Chorus]

They brought agony, thunder and hate

Unsainted the halls of the sacred child

Burnt the altar to ruins

[Chorus]

Can't give up

Stand tonight

Altars on fire

Can't deny

Get up together to weather the night

Can't give up

Come to life

Altars on fire

Can't defy

Born to forever and never to fight

Stand up and pray the night will rise

[Outro]

Can't give up

Stand tonight

Altars on fire

Can't deny

Get up together to weather the night

Can't give up

Come to life

Altars on fire

Can't defy

Born to forever and never to fight

Stand up and pray the night will rise
