They bow down
_____
And you soar above the peaks
_____
But when the curtain falls
_____
Echo like your vanities
_____
But when the curtain falls
_____
All glories are vain

They give birth to nobody

And as the sets collapse

God, glory's cruel
_____
They threw you on the embers
_____
But when the ship sinks
_____
When all the clamors fall silent
_____
You return with your shadows
_____
God, glory's mortal
_____
And as the sets collapse
_____
God, glory's cruel
_____
You return with your shadows
_____
God, glory's mortal
_____
And as the sets collapse
_____
God, glory's cruel
