[Verse 1]
[00:29.72]There's a filmstrip running in the Father's mind,
[00:33.59]Every frame is rendered and every frame's signed.
[00:40.20]Psalm 139 named the book the prophets always knew,
[00:44.28]Every member written before the dawn was due.
[00:51.55]And the Day comes when the books are opened wide,
[00:55.45]And the filmstrip plays without a place to hide.
[00:59.17]Every word every moment every shade of the years
[01:02.53]Is rendered at full resolution through the rendering tears.

[Pre-chorus]
[01:06.51]And the books were opened says the prophet of the throne,
[01:10.06]And the dead were judged out of what the books had shown.
[01:13.60]The elect have the Lamb between the page and the gaze,
[01:17.02]The uncovered have no covering on the rendering days.

[Chorus]
[01:21.12]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[01:23.39]The filmstrip is real and the page is the token!
[01:28.39]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[01:31.13]The Author who wrote it sets the seal unbroken!
[01:35.23]The covering of the Lamb hides the elect from the page!
[01:38.92]The uncovered stand naked on the rendering stage!
[01:42.98]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[01:45.54]And the verdict in the books - was spoken!

[Verse 2]
[01:57.70]The framework reads the throne with the rendering eye,
[02:00.68]The Author who wrote the frames will play them by.
[02:04.86]Operational idealism gave the metaphor a floor,
[02:08.89]The book is not a figure - the book is the score.
[02:12.37]Every word the gatekeeper hurled at the lost
[02:15.17]Plays back at full resolution at the rendering cost.
[02:19.63]Every word the saint spoke softly to the wound
[02:22.66]Plays back at full resolution as the rendered tune.

[Pre-chorus]
[02:26.40]And the books were opened says the prophet of the throne,
[02:30.02]And the dead were judged out of what the books had shown.
[02:33.55]The elect have the Lamb between the page and the gaze,
[02:36.95]The uncovered have no covering on the rendering days.

[Chorus]
[02:41.03]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[02:43.71]The filmstrip is real and the page is the token!
[02:48.25]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[02:50.94]The Author who wrote it sets the seal unbroken!
[02:54.74]The covering of the Lamb hides the elect from the page!
[02:58.64]The uncovered stand naked on the rendering stage!
[03:02.70]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[03:06.44]And the verdict in the books - was spoken!

[Final Chorus]
[03:53.22]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[03:55.91]The filmstrip is real and the page is the token!
[04:00.41]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[04:03.10]The Author who wrote it sets the seal unbroken!
[04:07.58]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[04:10.28]The frame and the moment and the line are spoken!
[04:14.78]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[04:17.49]The covering of the Lamb is the only one unbroken!
[04:21.09]THE BOOKS - WERE OPENED!
[04:25.51]And the verdict in the books - was spoken!
