Temple of Vanity

from Somewhere Nowhere by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

I seek escape
refuge, just a little warmth
to soothe my aching eyes and ears

my will it breaks
shivers right down to the bone
where my fragile soul got pierced

hypocrite saints
well-seated on their bronze thrones
defended by a wrath so fierce

a wicked rage
deluge, how to cope with storms
the pain in my wounds it sears

will your walls shake
from protest, self-indulgent swarms
sore from idle noise and tears?

oh! won't you release me
from this castle built upon sand?
oh! won't you bring peace to me
let me reborn and my troubles come to end

and I can't wait
to throw myself into your arms
never mind those wasted years

oh! won't you release me
from this castle built upon sand?
oh! won't you bring peace to me
let me reborn and my troubles come to end

temple of vanity.
