Vanity Is Vanity

Vanity is Vanity, it'll ride you to hell,
Bury you in the dirt where arrogance men fell
when they put their faith in their foolish needs
Why are you constantly looking for the mirror…
   Is it time to feed
   this vanity?

Decisions are always tougher when temptation's around
You keep looking to the skies
but the ground got you bound
  in the sins of the sea

Fantasies always rain down glories stories
  of vigor and power
The salt and sugar are sprinkled every hour
Upon the bitter and sweet tower
  of destiny,
This dark greed has sad my flower
The sun has gotten harsher
and the rain has turned sour
that rise from the sea
Why must you keep pouring your heart
 into vanity?
Haven't the world cried enough?
The calm water are hell when the seas turn rough
  and you set your heart in the skies
Vanity is vanity,
  it keeps telling you lies
