lyrics

I am the eighth deadly sin

We humans have a twisted tendency
Blinded by praises for our mistakes
We can tell right from wrong
We knew about it all along

We don't realise
We refuse to open our eyes
Therefore, we fail to see
Stubbornly, we didn't believe

We are the cause of our own corruption
Destroying the life of grace within
A horrific damnation awaits
but why aren't we afraid?

With great power comes great responsibility
Why is power being abused with greed?
Liars and thieves, do not be ashamed
You and I, we are just the same

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you more about myself

Avoidance of exertion of any kind,
Hunger and greed, everything must be mine
I desire wealth and material gain,
Lust over love as it brings me less pain
Wishing evil upon those I dislike,
Puffing myself up with excessive pride
Mass destruction and the chaos it brings,
These are a few of my favourite things

I feel that this is my decimation
I can't seem to resemble myself with my own reflection
How foolish was I to think I could do this on my own?
Empty these bottles, break these needles, I don't wanna be alone

Just how far are you willing to go,
to rip apart everything I know?

You have to understand
that I don't give a damn
about your stupid intentions
So sick and tired of how
you push me around
As contradicting as it may sound,
I've learnt and I've found
Everything you fear and neglect,
everything you despise
are the things that make me feel alive

Cross my heart and hope to die
There will be no remorse from our side
