The air was chilled the moon lite so brightly
and the silence quite deafening
Until the dogs barked

What followed the sound of the sirens
left the scars you see today
in the now old happy people

War was so far away
friends met at the cinemas
laughter filled the pubs
and mothers rocked their children to sleep

The city was lit up
by the bombers drone
the screams that scarred our now old happy people
with memories only time can soothe  

In the distance an angle of death appeared
floating gently down to earth
the ground violently shook as the past were
awoken from their death
rest in peace were the last words spoken

The great Llandaff Cathedral lying next to them
smouldered with dust
the birds in the belfry deprived of a home
the pews full again as so often were
but this time with grief not happiness

Guided home by the light of the moon
men cheered
Heim, ein guter Arbeitstag

June the 19th 1940
War came to our Capital
January 02nd 1941
It left a stench that awoke the dead
the scars will be guarded forever
by our old happy people
