Vanity's Pain

Why don't you smile gorgeous?
Won't you just smile for us?
Won't you even look at us?

Vanity, that wonderful sin
Shunning all your kin
For that one great ride

Lust is fine, and greed is mine
Yet you rule the mirror
And it serves your needs

You like what you see
Only it always must be better
Must be made more beautiful

Isn't it ever enough?
To be loved?
To be adored?

Or must you be the queen?
Must you always run the show?
I don't know you anymore

I wish I never did, now
You've ruined all your lives
Got none left now except this empty shell

I hope you like what you've become
Now run and hide from your demons
They'll find you anyway

They will take away your pretty face
Rape your confidence
And ravage all your lofty dreams

Goodbye now, Hello no
Just wave at me
When I walk by

I'll smile and say
What a nice surprise
And turn away to cry

Now leave me be
I'll find a way
I'll survive today

Without my love
Who was taken by Vanity
That awful disease

It consumed you,
And burned you
While ripping me apart

My eyes are sad,
My tears are fresh
And you're not here

You're looking down on me
At least you made it there
I'll see you someday

But for now I think,
I'll wait and watch
And patiently

One day i'll wear a robe
And have a golden crown
Harps will sing

But for now, I think
I'll wait right here
I'll watch the beautiful people

I'll watch them burn and wither
And be dragged down
Some will rise

And some will not
It's all the same
It's all a game

Goodnight my friend
Untill tomorrow's eternity
Das Vidana...
Vanity
