And a pandemic  
This wasn't enough 
For government and...

In 1296
Under Edward the first
Our destiny was stolen
My country cursed

There were talks of it's return
For six more centuries
We would wait and yearn

On Christmas day
In 1950
Four Scottish students
Decided to shift thee

A plot was...

 Means butterfly in afghan
She was like a little princess
Born in a cruel...

The tired and the worn,
Alongside the pristine and sharply defined
The original master plan dulled
With newer, brighter inserts,
I see an untidy cohesion
A compromise
An inability to fully reinstate
Though craftsmen...

It was a hot summers day
Along the beach I walked
I came upon a strange bottle
And it entered my thoughts

Hearing stories so young
About genies and lamps
Cowboys and Indians
Gypsies and tramps

Holding this bottle...

That until then, had slept entombed 
In Minster Lovell Hall?

Come 
Come
Come
my hands are cold,
my feet are numb,
I’ve been waiting for you to come.

Listen to the rhythmic sound of the drum,
it is summoning you to come,
come and minster to my blazing soul,
and help me achieve...
