Brought to Book Van der Graaf Generator

Named, the day and date
Picked, the place and time to meet
Set, the words I uttered in stone

To right the many wrongs
That I’ve done along the way
Now the ball’s in my own court

Angels hide in the inglenook
Saints alive, I’ll be brought to book

One false move was all it took
All the wicked thoughts will be brought to book

I’m not proud of what I did before
I acknowledge all my actions nonetheless
Undiminished, the returning score
I played my part in any sins I now confess

All that’s done is done
And all that comes along the way
Lands up in the lap of the gods

One false step, one last look
Under time and tide I’ll be brought to book
