The Book Lyrics

He burst through the door and screamed the words I can no more

She took him aside, comfortable lack of space and then they spoke no more

Then the strangest fate began to fall right into place

Two unassuming souls one second before no one even knew their names

An old creation reignited and their futures now fortunate

The lady on the news surrounded by followers said "some say this book is as good as god's truth"

These days now hang on a thread

He struggled bad

Now he leads the people through the evil

Now all he wants is a little quiet at the end of the day

He remembers how his wife would hold and take the pressure away

Fame, fortune and an army of followers

A taste of power unlike no other but all he wants is to be beside her

His disciples cling to his book as they march forth to take the land that was once theirs

And destroy those who are not in their sacred church as it is said in the sacred text

These days now hang on a thread

He struggled bad

Now he leads the people through the evil

Those modest days aren't coming back

The great leader rose to reclaim the flag

As he bled out in battle he recalled when life was simple

Simple
