Vacant possession of Chichester Cathedral (Song Cycles)
You bled the life from out of his home!
You stole its heart, took its very soul,
You took its roof and left a hole
Where stars look in and planets ceaseless roam:
You left a shell, a lifeless husk
Where, ruins vying for dominion,
The daylight gone, in endless dusk
Without a show of opinion
The broken essence of what was
An edifice without a name
Is lying empty now because
Of naked lust and sordid shame
The memory of what was once
Can't touch the present, cold and drear,
Yet in my mind it is ensconced
I think I'll go and have a beer
