In Lindisfarne It Lay Lyrics

The power of myths and legend lay in its skin and heart
Adorned with a crown of blue and gold, the legend of the word
Born out of piety to carry the divine
The words and sigils of light before the dragon came

In Lindisfarne it lay, charred but unbroken
In Lindisfarne it lay, memories and tragedy
In Lindisfarne it lay amongst death and flame
In Lindisfarne it lay

A martyr scarred in battle, the skin of beast the word of god
Made by man surviving the aeons, ancient wisdom's call
Fire rains from the heavens, the seas open up
The pious and protected by faith, power and might

The walls in ruins, the tower ablaze,
Wails of terror as pious souls dismay.
Yet the word, the magic and the heart,
The gospel unbroken and unharmed
In Lindisfarne it Lay
