Vain Glory Opera Lyrics
The prayers have been spoken
may the gods be on my side
may they join my way to bring me victory
seven at one stroke
my triumph and my pride
will be history
but behind my enemies eyes
a soul in disguise
not only lies
We live to fight the hand of doom
we got the pride to strike a fool
vain glory be my wicked guide
what`s hell without a paradise
what`s the night without a day
we would think it`s bright
what`s a fall if we can`t rise
what`s a hero at a play
without a fool to fight
but behind my enemies eyes
a soul in disguise
not only lies
but behind my enemies eyes
a soul in disguise
not only lies
may the gods be on my side
may they join my way to bring me victory
seven at one stroke
my triumph and my pride
will be history
but behind my enemies eyes
a soul in disguise
not only lies
we got the pride to strike a fool
vain glory be my wicked guide
what`s the night without a day
we would think it`s bright
what`s a fall if we can`t rise
what`s a hero at a play
without a fool to fight
a soul in disguise
not only lies
a soul in disguise
not only lies

OMG the live version is awesome!! Gives me shivers
i think this song means you cant have good things unless you have a evil things to fight it
All those people you say are wrong, all those ones who you criticize, and the fool's heads that you smack, all of them, they're only another point of view. It's about relativism, you know, all those victories in the end are relative... so what you get form them is just that: "Vain Glory"
Well first off Hansi needed more than 3 lines of solo lyrics.... secondly the song means basically what everyone has said no matter what people say or what they do to you, you know that you can rise up and smack the fools to gain glory from the vain.
Hansiiiii!!!:D
