“There's rain on the road
And the faithful have gone.
In a crowd all alone,
Walking 'round in a song.”

Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.”

The building is grey
The rain is grey
Through this stretch of dead ash

One in bright red
One in light green.”
