Crucifliction - Vanitas

To Rate
VERSE 1 – ACT 1
Born into poverty
Sadness and pain
Inheriting the gift
Beauty, so vain
All of the wants
And the needs to fulfill
Emptiness
In lies the truth

VERSE 2
Escape from a life
Of pride in work
Love them, leave them
Proving it's worth
Using, scheming
Treacherous plans
Advancing status
Money and power's demand

CHORUS 1
Hair and nails
Set in place
Adjust the breasts
Paint the face
Corpus inani
Dei Delor
Vanitas
Look at me now
VERSE 3
Gifts that are given
Time takes away
Doors once open
Slam shut today
Illusions, projections
Cannot maintain
Life, a prison
Reality
Try to еscape

CHORUS 2
Enhance the brеasts
Reshape the face
Cinch the stomach
Lose the weight
Corpus inani
Dei Delor
Vanitas
Look at me now

VERSE – ACT 2
Welcome into the chapel
Flesh carving, the new faith
Reborn under the scalpel
Bypassing God today
CHORUS 1
Sign the dotted line
Operation begins
Try to turn back time
Chasing fallacies
Buy a brand new life
Everlasting beauty
Immortality
Worship vanity

VERSE 2
Bargaining with a butcher
Realizing far too late
Harvesting blood and organs
Quick fix gone wrong today

CHORUS 2
Strip down to the core
Mutilation to be
Marrow from the bone
Chasing fallacies
Kidney, liver, spleen
Never lasting beauty
Immortality
Worship vanity
BRIDGE – ACT 3
Is it worth the soul?
Close to death, alone
Hopeless as it seems
Hell is beckoning

VERSE 4
Now it's all over
Light fades away
Scars and disfigurements
Are on display
Writhing, twisting
Pain takes it's place
Look in the mirror
Vanity
Its cold embrace

CHORUS 3
Broken body
In this state
Life support
Saving grace
Corpus inani
Dei Delor
Vanitas
Look at me

Crippled spirit
Condemning faith
Cut off the nose
To spite the face
Corpus inani
Dei Delor
Vanitas
Look at me
Vanitas
Look at me
Vanitas
Look at me now
