Macklin MacKenzie - Seven Deadly Sins

World round are my brethren, all people are my kin
But the things that control our lives are the seven deadly sins
We see others’ possessions and our ENVY takes control
We say we wish that we were them, we give away our souls
We need to have our sustenance, but GLUTTONY is a fault
Our GREED becomes an open wound we’re pouring on the salt
We all have a libido, but looks turn into LUST
But this will get us nowhere, in the end it’s dust to dust
SLOTH has made us lazy as we sit and lie in wait
We never do anything for ourselves, something we should hate
In our own time we look into the mirror, we are all becoming VAIN
This is wrong, we know it’s true, it drives us all insane
Others’ comments anger us, but rage turns into WRATH
If you want to change this sinful world then you can do the math
These things are of our making, our lights are going dim
The world’s been taken over by the seven deadly sins
