Lyrics
The Book
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
God gave me a sign
He put it in my glass of wine
A great theophany
He told me every sinner had to die
So I set up my sign
And tell the passersby
We are a sacrifice
Like it or not, I live by the book
These aren't fables
Between pages
My book's ageless
And it's pageless
The book
The book
The book
God gave me a knife
And wrote seppuku underlined
Godly suicide
He told me everyone will die
So judge me by the page
But not by my cover
You’ll learn more with age
Like it or not, I live by the book
These aren't fables
Between pages
My book's ageless
And it's pageless
The book
The book
The book
These aren't fables
Between pages
My book's ageless
And it's pageless
The book
The book
The book
