We vie with our neighbor
Unremitting race under the gun
Vile diamonds, for which we labor
Madly under the Sun

We purchase our glory by paying with our own
Misery!
We devour the biosphere to feed our vanity!

We bought the advance with ruins
We brought nothing here, so we take it all!
Blindly we're striving after wind
Greed leads us to the fall

We sail across the oceans
We fly above the stars
In the name of a sick devotion
Craving always for more!
We pursue enchanting jails
We sell our morals in a store!
The roots of all this chaos
That blooms inside our hearts!

Vanitas vanitatum omnie vanitas!
