Altars on Fire [Orchestral Version]
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
All 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 the saints
With no mercy they plundered and slayed
Tainted the ground of the Holy Isle
Burnt the abbey to ruins
Can't give up
Stand tonight, altars on fire
Can't deny
Get up together to weather tonight
Can't give up
Come to life, altars on fire
Can't defy
Get 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 few of survivors
They were taken as slaves under will
And the altar was burnt 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
Stand tonight, altars on fire
Can't deny
Get up together to weather tonight
Can't give up
Come to life, altars on fire
Can't defy
Born to forever or never to fight
Stand up and pray the night will rise
Can't give up
Stand tonight, altars on fire
Can't deny
Get up together to weather tonight
Can't give up
Come to life, altars on fire
Can't defy
Born to forever or never to fight
Stand up and pray the night will rise
