Vanity

Feel the shiver in the haze
Dark clouds are towering – blacken the sky
The rising winds are gathering all their strength
Turning cold so cold
A dreary day as grey as this
What will remain and last?

Vanity – everything fades away
Kingdom rise and fall again
Vanity – everything passes by
What's once solid now melts away

Mountains crumble – turn to dust
Oceans rise and flood the land
All memories get washed away
Turning dark – so dark
A dreary day as grey as this
What will remain to pass?

Vanity – Everything fades away
Kingdoms rise and fall again
Vanity – Everything passes by
What's once solid now melts away

And high on the hill
Beyond the crumbling city walls
You see the endless horizon
And everything looks like nothing
And all your anger – all your fears
All your ambitions – your desires
Are falling off – are falling down
And nothing remains
But light – and peace – and silence...
