Men on the shore
Weapons in hand
No army here
No way to fight
Inside the church
We hear them come
I don't know why
I don't want to die
Blood by the altar
They take what they find
Nothing stops them
Lindisfarne
They came for plunder
Lindisfarne
Men cut down
Strip the church bare
Take it away
Lindisfarne
We remain
Priests on the ground
Rooms stripped bare
I see the blood
I feel the fear
Where is our help?
Where is our God?
I need an answer
There isn't one
Blood by the altar
They take what they find
Nothing stops them
Lindisfarne
They came for plunder
Lindisfarne
Men cut down
Strip the church bare
Take it away
Lindisfarne
We remain
No miracle
No rescue
Some are dead
Some survive
Lindisfarne
Lindisfarne
They came for plunder
Lindisfarne
Men cut down
Strip the church bare
Take it away
Lindisfarne
We remain
We remain
