Vanitas Lyrics


A painted picture, expose my soul

The girim face of death. A skull as still as stone

As I taste November

Her breath is home to me

Her voice echoes in silence

Silence of the grave

Like words with no vision

A thought that's come undone

Our lonely star never falls

A song unsung

Be still my heart. This wretched life is ending

Be calm my love. Soon I will join you

Be brave for now. The silence is falling

Yet still I wait all alone

And though we sail dark waters

Our ship will chase the waves away

Immortalized and motionless

An image of the end

A candle, the sun. It's shade, a reckoning

Below the soul and beyond time

Painted sorrow. A solemn demise

Portrait of emptiness both hollow and divine forever

Through the dark and cold. Through the twilight

Through the mists and wind that beckon in the night

I speak not a word I cannot follow

My path is chosen. Still life eternal

Be still my heart. This wretched life is ending

Be calm my love. Soon I will join you

Be brave for now. The silence is falling

Yet still I wait all alone
