SONG LYRICS

VANITY

John E Dosher

Curse the day you were born And the man who planted the seed
Curse the woman who bore the fruit And the moment you were conceived
Curse the stars that shine on you And the darkness where you dwell
Despise the power of the Holy Water Flowing through the gates of Hell

Is your name Vanity? Have you no pride?
Have you no dignity, Or anything left inside?

Curse the ones who deserted you Lash out at those who stayed
Curse the color of your eyes Stare them into gray
Anger is your motivation Power is your deceit
Curse the air you’re suckin’ in And the ground beneath your feet

You must be Vanity. You got no pride.
You got no dignity. Nothin’ left inside.

CHORUS:

        Vanity, oh Vanity, I know you must get tired.
        It’s hard to cool your heels When your hearts on fire.
        Vanity, oh Vanity, You can’t close the wounds.
        So you drink the blood of sorrow and live a life that’s doomed.

Curse the planet and the seasons. And the place where hope once stood.
Curse the neighbor who just won’t move. Curse the evil and the good.
Curse at me, inspire my death. Bring about my demise.
Blame me for the life you curse. Curse your alibis.

You are Vanity. You lost your pride.
You lost your dignity when you went inside.

CHORUS

The God whose holy name you fear has abandoned you it seems.
So curse again you birthday, rejoice in your disease.
Your hatred brings you power, You take comfort in distress.
Empowered by their weaknesses You curse the ones who are blessed.

You are Vanity. You lost your pride.
You lost your dignity That’s when you died..

CHORUS.
