Vanity, vanity;
all is vanity,
tragedy and calamity.
How is this happening?
We’re losing our humanity.
Did we choose the cure,
or the malady?
Watching the devils
drive the wedges in,
thinking all this
could begin again.
Falling into another
deadly sin.
Greed,
Envy,
or Gluttony?
Take it all
and burn what’s left.
Spread the ashes
on your chest.
Use the blood
to paint your face.
A future timeline
has been erased.
We couldn’t let it
come to pass.
Things are far too
advanced,
and we need you
dumb and dying
to the last.
We’re bringing back
the caste.
Vanity, vanity;
all is vanity.
Violence and profanity.
Fire and anarchy.
This is the mark
of a planet
that granted
the crown
to a fallacy.
This world is insanity.
There’s killers in our midst
and they’re after your kids.
The slave boats must be filled.
The demons make the deals.
Our hearts will fail and flag,
our muscles will dissolve,
our minds will be corrupt,
and all mankind will fall.
Vanity, vanity;
all is vanity.
Tragedy
and calamity.
