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…
