Altars On Fire Lyrics by Powerwolf

Interludium

2023

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
All the force of the wild we were facing
Lindisfarne was taken by fate
Not our god nor a prayer could help
But our trust as we call the saints

[Pre-Chorus]
With no mercy they plundered and slaved
Tainted the ground of the holy isle
Burnt the abbey to ruins

[Chorus]
Can't give up
Stand tonight
Altars on fire
Can't deny
Get up together to weather the night
Can't give up
Come to life
Altars on fire
Can't defy
Gather tonight

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
By the dawn all the few of survivors
They were taken as slaves under will
And the altar was burned and despised
By the horde, as the godless killed

[Pre-Chorus]
They brought agony, thunder and hate
Unsainted the halls of the sacred child
Burnt the altar to ruins

[Chorus]
Can't give up
Stand tonight
Altars on fire
Can't deny
Get up together to weather the night
Can't give up
Come to life
Altars on fire
Can't defy
Born to forever and never to fight
Stand up and pray the night will rise

[Outro]
Can't give up
Stand tonight
Altars on fire
Can't deny
Get up together to weather the night
Can't give up
Come to life
Altars on fire
Can't defy
Born to forever and never to fight
Stand up and pray the night will rise
