Lyrics and Music by Bernd Harmsen Vanity, you do look old the smooth skin of your youth got definitely stained age spots and wrinkles where once proud beauty reigned there's no charm and no grace in your old worn out face you've lost your good looks - there is no denying the time you've wasted is why you should be crying Vanity, life can feel cold Vanity, no use for gold what once seemed important is of no use today riches and elegance won't serve you on your way let the past be the past gold and silver won't last your heirs may fight over what you will have left them where you're headed to no-one will care for your gems Vanity, you had been told if you look in the mirror you will spot a disturbing shape like a skull grinning at you knowing there's no escape Vanity, you look distraught you had all the chances a human life provides never you seized them, instead you swept them aside you can't call back your youth you can't hold off the truth a fight against time is lost from the beginning when the last bell chimes you know there is no winning but Vanity, you never fought Vanity Vanity Vanity
