The Lindisfarne Gospels

I have this fire that is burning inside me
With its flames raging through every vein
So I'm joining the campaign going to London
The Lindisfarne Gospels to regain

Intruders came and stole from us
Our beautiful heredity treasure
To hold as theirs and place on view
For other peoples pleasure

We are marching en masse with our petition
To tell everyone this wrong can't go on
We need our Gospels here with us
They have been missing far to long

Though London, you may possess our book
You can never ever call it your own
It is our heritage, our history, our pride and joy
And its loss we shall always bemoan

This precious book belongs with us
For it was written up North on the Holy Isle
Now the time has come for us to take it back home
Where it should have been all the while. VRB.
