WE ARE THE FUTURE (opening song)
We are the future
We are memory
Sumus futura
Sumus memoria
Resonating tale of hours
We come and go
As the bell chimes
In a temporal dream
As shadows drift
See them coming
Over the Minster Green
We are the makers
We are the makers
The tellers and the shapers
The tellers and the shapers
Wood, word, stone and glass
Watch us gather
Here on the Minster grass
We are the future
We are memory
Sumus futura
Sumus memoria
Resonating tale of hours.
Now is the time to tell
Now is the time to tell
This new tale of hours
This new tale of hours
Stories of ages
Changing ages
Chimes from the Minster tower
We are the future
We are memory
Sumus futura
Sumus memoria
Resonating tale of hours

THE SMUGGLERS’ SONG: ISAAC GULLIVER
Oh, Isaac Gulliver he was a giant of a man
A friend to the poor
On sea and on land.
Oh, Isaac Gulliver on his trust white mare
Yes, he lifted our spirits
From the depths of despair!
Like a gurt clap of thunder his fine voice rang out
All over the county
He ruled hereabouts
Oh, Isaac Gulliver on his trusty white mare
Yes, he lifted our spirits
From the depths of despair!
Though they say Isaac Gulliver is dead as the stone
As cold as the night
And lain quite alone
My chisel will sing out and carve out his name
And our Isaac Gulliver
Will live on again!

THE MASONS’ SONG
We are the folk who made this place
From stone and wood and glass
To the greater glory of God
And now the time is past.

THE NOBLES’ CHANT (traditional)
We are the old people,
We are the new people.
We are the same people,
Different than before.
