Dissolution

Manuscripts lost precious books destroyed
The power of a King so brutal and royal
Grand ruins of broken stone
Broken by King Henry on the English throne

This dissolution by Cromwell planned
And culture was lost throughout the land

Stained glass lost the abbeys destroyed
The power of a King so brutal and royal
Grand ruins of broken stone
Broken by King Henry on the English throne

Reformation ran out of control
With vandalism playing such a leading role

The lead removed so the roofs were destroyed
The power of a King so brutal and royal
Grand ruins of broken stone
Broken by King Henry on the English throne

Romantic ruins where the tourists go
Such as the one called Rievaulx
