This Book

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Away from the past, this chance is the last
We are changing completely
We are moving the feast, we are motion
I've seen you become the bride of the sun
You surrender so sweetly
Sacrificing yourself to devotion

[Chorus]
This book is ended and I put it down
This book is ended and I put it down
I'm saved, I'm saving for the future
This book is ended and I put it down
Find I'm befriended in a foreign town
I'm saved, I'm sailing for the future

[Post-Chorus]
But only yesterday night
I stood in the pouring rain, shouting at the thunder:
I said "Lord, I'm starting to understand the hidden mystery"
Lord, the compass falls in my hand
I can sail to the far horizon...

[Bridge]
Could you conceive a mirror
Where you could never see yourself?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Away from the past, the iconoclasts
We are changing completely
We are breaking the mould, we are rapture
I've seen you astride the wind and the tide
My dark angel, you greet me with a samurai sword
Close the chapter...

[Chorus]
This book is ended and I put it down
Find I'm befriended in a foreign town
I'm here, but I'm nearer to the future

[Post-Chorus]
But only yesterday night
I stood in the pouring rain, shouting at the thunder:
I said "Lord, I'm starting to understand the hidden mystery"
Lord, the compass falls in my hand
I can sail to the far horizon...

[Bridge]
Could you conceive a mirror
(Could you conceive a mirror)
(Where you could never see yourself?)
Could you conceive a mirror
(Could you conceive a mirror)
(Where you could never see yourself?)
Could you conceive a mirror
Where you could never see yourself?

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
This book is ended and I put down
(This book is ended)
This book is ended and I put down
(This book, this book, this book)
This book is ended and I put down
Find I'm befriended in a foreign town
(This book is ended)
This book is ended and I put it down
