Текст песни: Havoc On Holy Island
[Verse 1] In placid halls beside the tide The tiresome scrape of quill on hide Passes every plodding hour In the care of a hollow power Lying alone, treasures abound Spells sent forth throughout the lands But stubborn hearts are not beguiled Beyond the waves a wrath is riled [Verse 2] Longships break the waters Dragonfire paints the sky Anger rends the silence Harried by a wild warcry Relics through ravaged altars White Christ servants flee Havoc on Holy Island Punishment from the sea [Verse 3] A lonesome life they embrace Walled within this hallowed space Toiling for a higher cause Loyal slaves to heavenly laws Macabre rites with rag and bone Praise to corporal idols shown But empty words cannot resist Whirlwinds wreck the fragile bliss [Solo: Wulfstan] [Verse 4] So he bade them go, carry forth To the daunting halls of the north Promise of salvation they brought Pilgrims in a distant domain Wily words spreading like a plague So was a land led astray [Verse 5 - Old English] 'Her wæron reðe forebecna cumene ofer Norðhymbra land,...ormete þodenas and ligrescas, and fyrenne dracan wæron gesewene on þam lifte fleogende. Þam tacnum sona fyligde mycel hunger,...[and] earmlice hæþenra manna hergunc adilegode Godes cyrican in Lindisfarnaee...' - AS Chronicle 793 [Outro] Longships break the waters Dragonfire paints the sky Anger rends the silence Harried by a wild warcry Relics through ravaged altars White Christ servants flee Havoc on Holy Island Punishment from the sea
