A shackle of frailest copper, a summers hailstone too hard to conceal, perishableness advances, vanity of vanities

Endless oceans of lifeless prayers, justice has closed mercy's door, the skeleton rose to carry out his duty, to make his arrows drink with blood

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity

A shackle of frailest copper, vanity of vanities perishableness approaching, all is vanity

Within sin dwellest death, within sin dwellest death

A shackle of frailest copper, a summers hailstone too hard to conceal, perishableness advances, vanity of vanities

A wingless mosquito, jumping, around the light of inanition, a twinhung meagre with compulsion, vanity of vanities

Vanity of vanities; all is vanity. Vanity of vanities: all is vanity

Thou fair one behold these bones
Thou learned one see these empty skulls
Thou wealthy one consider this dust
Thou thrall see thee rest
Thou king see thee destiny, thou thrall see thee rest
