The Worldly One - Deadly Seven
A new world building broken dreams
Living angels chasing treasure and fame
A name is up for one who dies in greed
We had figured it out since we live in hell
Everybody loves lust and sloth as well
So overnight our anger starts to outrage
Another soul lights up in fire
Like a flame burning at night
Let me say this now
You are worldly one
Now let me tell you
That you’re a worldly one
You should know by now
You are a worldly one
A sinful one…
Now there’s a big white plate
With a sweaty frost cake
Eat everything now before it’s too late
The spirit is craving but has lost its faith
They tell you that you‘re so cool
But you feel so envious
Insecurity kills and makes you confused
You don’t want someone to steal your place
Another soul lights up in fire
Like a flame burning at night
Let me say this now
You are worldly one
Now let me tell you
That you’re a worldly one
You should know by now
You are a worldly one
A sinful one…
It will take some years
and we’re drowning to leers
So they still tell the legend
How soon we will disappear
Our pride is gluttony for us to disagree
They say we bought the world
With a bunch of flare
Chose ill desires over one single prayer
It will take some time before we realize
Another soul lights up in fire
Like a flame burning at night
So let me say this now
You are worldly one
Now let me tell you
That you’re a worldly one
You should know by now
You are a worldly one
A sinful one…
