So lovely
So full of grace
So handsome
So perfectly in place
All the different features
Some beautiful
Some strong
All the things they will see
Just before it all goes wrong
So full of themselves
So enamored by the vain
They never truly see
The ugliness hidden inside of them
As their life slowly drains away…
Perhaps that’s why so many never leave
So many are trapped in time
Behind the glass halls before them
They never saw the slow creeping pain…
Just as in life
They couldn’t see the truth
How they hurt those they looked down upon
Or…
How they never felt the grief they doled out
In this place they stare at themselves
Until they are preyed upon
Their souls slowly drain from their bodies
Their minds slowly growing more out of place
It’s all quite subtle
Till eventually they succumb
The sins of their vanity
Leading to the end of life itself…
They never saw the truth before their eyes
They couldn’t see past the surface
Of the simple disguise
So it is they became ensnared
Slowly dying
As they stared
Glorified by their own images
Even as they were eaten alive
Consumed slowly as they withered away
Till it was too late to keep their lives
Just as those before
Who knew only of the beauty skin deep
Here their souls now lay trapped
In the halls within
Their minds shattered,
The house of Mirrors has consumed them
Trapping them eternally within,
Never will they leave again
All this for…
-The Sin Of Vanity-
