Vanitas


music and words: Hydra's Fate


Come listen to my story

No tale but oh so true


I was born in the night − never thought to be real

I fought up to the light − my powers to be revealed

I wait for the day it will happen − I′ve showed what I toiled for

Showing the gifts of nature − I′ll be forever more


Fighting for glory fighting for fame − with all the strength of man

Fulfilling my secret desire − suffering according to plan

I keep back all my powers − as good as I can

The day has come − I am bursting out − so here I am


Hear them screaming my name − watch them playing my game

Feel the magic − that′s what I′ve been living for

The bliss of glory inside me − I grow more and more


For years and years − I try to hide − all the signs of decay

Just one tear in the night − while glory was slipping away

Smiling for people who told me − to pretend what I should be

I wont give up − ready and willing − there still desire in me


There is still fire in my soul

Can′t cope with glory − getting old

Stop − my ruin − cause I am a name

Beyond the doors of weakness − the name is all that still remains


In the last rays − of my fading sun

I try to remember − all the times gone by

Just awaiting − to be reborn

And I wonder − will someone be with me

Will they miss me − when I′m gone


In the last rays − of my fading sun

I try to remember − all the times gone by

Just awaiting − to be reborn

And I wonder − will someone be with me

Will they miss me − when I′m gone
