Lindisfarne

On a misty winter's morning

When all was still

Came upon the shores of Albion

A plague from the North

Death by the sword

The unsuspecting villagers

Toiled and tussled their daily lives

But on wings of pestilence

Northmen came to bring demise

Riding on through the white valleys

Bringing death to all who resists

Bringers of death, scavengers of sorrow

Order of the axe, murder on the morrow

Never to be seen, rumours to be heard

Struck upon the shore of this earth

Lindisfarne [2x]

Soon the dust had settled

Bodies littered the streets

Church lay in ashes,

None were spared

On the wild seas

Dragonheads they rode

Bringing home their hoard

The order of the sword

Riding on through the white valleys

Bringing death to all who resists

Bringers of death, scavengers of sorrow

Order of the axe, murder on the morrow

Never to be seen, rumours to be heard

Struck upon the shore of this earth

Lindisfarne [2x]
