Battered Book lyrics

You look at me and what do you see

I surely do not know

Perhaps the ragged, tired face of me

Dispairing, head hung low

Some, like a magnificent cover on a book

With a meaningless story within

Of entirety you dare not look

The faults that bear akin

The dullen folds that grasp the truth

Battered saga left yet unknown

Elements of principles unforsooth

Deny not a king a meager throne
