[Verse 1]
I look out the window
I see the sun in the sky, for now
It is not for me
Stories of old times
Black Book of Lies
With no reason nor rhymes
No secrets, no disguise

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Colour of the jealousy that hangs over thee
Why don't you believe, you still do not know me

[Chorus 1]
Books of true tales
Mirrors of tragedy
Remorseful and pale
As always
These news travel fast

[Verse 2]
Walking cross snowfields
How can I trust in this path I leave
Fading behind me
Pleading not guilty
It is the nature of humankind
Installed in a manchild

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Life can -do it in many ways, toss dirt on your face
But I am your man, and for you I do all I can

[Chorus 1]
Books of true tales
Mirrors of tragedy
Remorseful and pale
As always
These news travel fast

[Post-Chorus]
Standing on the station
Watching your train slowly disappear
I'm only shell of a man
I thought you knew who I am...

[Bridge 1]
But go ahead and blame the fool
You have beliefs that aren't true
I have not lived the life you read from

[Chorus 2]
The books of true tales
Mirrors of tragedy
My life is no game
It's a real shame
The false news travel fast

[Bridge 2]
Why do you keep me in the agony?
"The Book of true tales"
How can you hate and keep me in this agony?
"The Mirror of tragedy"
I haven't lied, I haven't cheated!
"The Book of true tales"
What do you think? What do you see when you look in
"The Mirror of tragedy"

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I'm still your man, and for you I do all I can

[Chorus 1]
Books of true tales
Mirrors of tragedy
Remorseful and pale
As always
These news travel fast

[Chorus 2]
The books of true tales
Mirrors of tragedy
My life is no game
It's a real shame
The false news travel fast
