Lindisfarne (anno 793) |
| All heaven and earth were still |
| As if God’s paradise never lost |
| None could foresee the silent (approaching) chill |
| (in the shape of raging heathens) |
| Through Durham monks experienced at high cost |
| Martyrs made Christians fallen in this Pagan attack |
| No shrine left untouched, sacred loot on their back |
| Lindisfarne, Odin rides! |
| Lindisfarne, down in flames! |
| Lindisfarne, Odin rides! |
| Lindisfarne, down in flames! |
| Martyrs made Christians fallen in this Pagan attack |
| No relic left untouched |
| Hear the sound of the Norsemans laughter |
| Behold their rise, sacred loot on their back |
| Saint Cuthbert lowering the head |
| The head for Odins sons |
| Lindisfarne, Odin rides! |
| Lindisfarne, down in flames! |
| Odin… rides over the Nordland again |
| Odin… rides over the Nordland again! |
| Desecration of the holy island! |
| All heaven and earth were still |
| As if God’s paradise never lost |
| Through Durham monks experienced at high cost |
| Lindisfarne, down, down in flames! |
| Saint Cuthbert lowering the head |
| The head for Odins sons |
| As for now the heathen still prevails |
| Pagan warriors mocking God |
| Witness their fury, hear the victory hails |
| Hear the victory hails!!! |
| Lindisfarne, Odin rides! |
| Lindisfarne, down in flames! |
| Lindisfarne, Odin rides! |
| Lindisfarne, down in flames! |
| Lindisfarne, down, down in flames! |
