All what is said will be forgotten All which is done is in vain For the wise and for the fool There’s no remembrance It is lifted from our hearts all too soon
All we have seen are shadows flickering on the wall No truth to be found Just the name of things, great and small We’ve hidden our eyes in darkness Not knowing what the mind was To turn towards the sun Our betrayal of the senses
Here, where we breathe Existence is thin Heartbeats gallop And veins rip our skin From all our dreams We are only to awake As our lives unveil A path to forsake
As all our seasons fade Into this numbness, mass of grey The sole gift of heaven is the scorching rain From which we turn away with shame All the stories that have been told Are left here for none to behold
All under the sun will wash away Whilst the desertion of god lasts forever As every statue crumbles The great absence is felt In the end, pain condemns our consciousness
All we have done has lead to our downfall “Vanity of all vanities, all is in vain”
