Vanity Of Vanities
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A shackle of frailest copper
A summers hailstone too hard to conceal
Perishableness advances
Vanity of vanities
Endless oceans of lifeless prayers
Justice has closed mercy's door
The skeleton rose to carry out his duty
To make his arrows drink with blood
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity
A shackle of frailest copper
Vanity of vanities
Perishableness approaching
All is vanity
Within sin dwellest death
Within sin dwellest death
A shackle of frailest copper
A summers hailstone too hard to conceal
Perishableness advances
Vanity of vanities
A wingless mosquito jumping
Around the light of turnthung
Meagre with compulsion
Vanity of vanities
Vanity of vanities
All is vanity
Thou fair one behold these bones
Thou learned one see these empty skulls
Thou wealthy one consider this dust
Thou thrall see thee rest
Thou king see thee destiny, thou thrall see thee rest
