Work and lofty dreams vanish in dust All that once was gold now turns to rust Each new jewel surpassed by the next All is in vain - all is vanity False desires make your life complex All is vain - all is vanity On the verge of insanity You're trapped in this web of vanity Bury your novel expressions Bury your hopeless passions ~~Refrain~~ Embrace the status and display the crest All is vanity You live a life of emptiness Purity is meaningless Reveal yourself, keep sailing to the ends Embrace purity You only take it as a game 'cause vanity is your name Life's an uphill climb One seldom find a rope Redemption's not in sight But do not kill your hope Health of mind and body, all seems lost All is in vain - all is vanity Into a sea of fire and disgust All is in vain - all is vanity Bring forth the sumptuous delights Tickle my senses, devour the moment Abstinence has become a sacrilege Admire the feast - never eat (2x)~~Refrain~~ Embrace the status and display the crest All is vanity You live a life of emptiness Purity is meaningless Reveal yourself, keep sailing to the ends Embrace purity You only take it as a game 'cause vanity is your name (4x) All is - all is vanity All is - in vain
