Book of the defeated man:
In you let me write
one red letter that plants
green sadness leading to crystal joy
so that a song comes dancing forth
dressed in elf's clothing

Book of the fallen man:
You know what it means to a man
to live without song
live his wedding without feeling joy
live without a sky that knows him
his life ignored, address unknown?

Book of the future:
Set down the history
of our love of our land
for the effective word
record a moon, record a child
record a branch that grows
out of a fighter's sacrifice

Book of the resistance fighter:
Flame comes from the beating pulse
rebellion from the vanquished heart
revival from the bleeding wound
and our message is still a river of moons
