Guildford Cathedral

A little known fact, one eerie night in this lovely city
The Omen was filmed, 'tis a pity

For I cannot pass the cathedral and appreciate it's beauty
Without thinking of Damien on his devilish duty

Poor Gregory Peck in an undeserving role
Played his father which took it's toll

Sequels two and three were filmed elsewhere
More encounters with Damien we could not bear

A grand and glorious cathedral tainted by the devil's own
In Hollywood's idea of a macabre tone

The uplifting view driving up the road
No longer can I see without forbode

I hope I did not scare you with my tale of sorrow
Goodnight, sweet dreams, we'll meet tomorrow
