Seven Deadly Sins
Well, of all those seven deadly sins, I Wore around my neck for him Hunger, anger, lust, and greed Envy, pride, and jealousy There was one, I guess, that was the worst of all That gave a little push, started the fall From grace that I took so high I took so long, so long and far But I just couldn't spend me another night In the cold, cold bed of the butcher's wife So afraid to fall asleep Afraid to wake, and afraid to dream No, I just couldn't stay, I couldn't wait it out Bite my tongue for another hour One more endless day Day after night, and night after day Well it's been a two year stint in No Man's Land Nobody here really gives a damn So why don't we call it a draw...in the bloody war To end all wars? In the bloody war SongtexteIn the bloody way In the bloody, bloody war In the bloody, bloody war Well, I'm far too quick with the poison pen Can't believe I'm writing again After all these God damned years And some day when the ghosts have all gone home Far too late to be rattling bones Then will you lay me down? Lay me down Oh, will you let it be? Such a bloody war Such a bloody war Such a bloody, bloody war Such a bloody war Such a bloody war Such a bloody, bloody war Aus Songtexte Mania
