Dealt out by the tricksters hand
The card he drew was always planned
He knows there’s no bargaining for me
He needs my pride to meet his greed
His thought is “Take everything from me”
To fulfil his sin of gluttony
There’s nowhere ever to escape
This dealers envy will make me fucking break
Your desire to consume more than one requires
Your lust is dwelling in the lies you preach
You sing your song and expect our praise
But every melody you raise is just another lie
You play your cards and lay them in place
The poker face that you forever hide from them
Hide the fact you can’t..
Set aside your own ideas
Seven sins the life you live
Burdens hidden down within
Seven sins the life you live (Repeat)
Burn all the cards you play
Save every word you have to say (Repeat)
The pride of man slowly dwindles and hangs by a strand
This is the end
The cards he dealt we may never amend
You are the true cause of our demise
When we look for guidance we reach to the skies
You never held your hands out for us
You take your cards and just leave them to rust
Burn all the cards you play
Save every word you have to say
Never took the time
We’ve been playing blind
Given in to greed that’s not what our life means
Re-asses yourself
Take a higher stand tell the dealer
You are no longer played by his hand
WE ARE THE SINS
THE PRIDE OF MAN
WE ARE THE SINS THE GREED OF MAN
