A Feast for the Vain Lyrics

Album: Epica

Mephisto:

Everyone is here,

the feast can soon begin.

Vanity we celebrate,

my favourite of sins.

Ariel:

Chandeliers so grand

that Heaven sees the shine.

And my friend declares

everything I look at could be mine.

It's a miracle,

Life till now has been a waste,

you have proved to me.

By your hand I'm truly graced.

Unbelievable,

gold and glitter blinding me.

So adorable, all these women

from my fantasies.

Mephisto:

Come with me my little ones,

let's revel for the free.

Raise your glass and praise the fact,

how easy life can be.

Ariel:

In the splendour of the night

I've found company.

Once again I feel

that life's begun.

All the wrongs seem to be right,

drowned in ecstasy.

Every star is like

a newborn sun.

May the life I knew be gone,

I accept the deed.

But one point we have to modify!

If I wish to linger on

In a state of still,

only then I'm yours

the day I die.
