Deadly Sins
Trapped amidst pretense and lies
I seethe in my disgust
The wholesome bleed and sinners breed
In brazen shameless lust
The vultures feast on carrion
Of rivals doomed to die
Growing fat and dumb, blind and numb
Swollen by this pride
Pride that blinds these dead and tear streaked eyes
Pride that binds us to these lies, these bold and blood-soaked lies
Like shackles, bound and cast into the cruel and heaving tides
The fury and the wrath of prophecy
The punishment for sins against your god
His mercy and his wrath shall know no bounds
And he will set you free.
The night time is watching, the darkness has eyes
The predator stalking seeking out lives
Wrath shall be brutal, Justice be swift
Angel of mercy bringer of death
Forever now it seems I’ve watched this world beneath my feet
Empty words, hollow greed, cold jealous deceit
My sin is hate my anger pride my lust for wrath will be known
And by the blood of sinners spilled god’s blunder be atoned
God’s blunder be atoned
By the blood of his sinners
Lies that rob us of our lives, that rip apart our minds
That smash our hopes and damn us to infernal misery
A flawed creation lost and doomed to fail
The fury and the wrath of prophecy
The punishment for sins against a god
Who dwells in fantasy…
