Pride (Superbia):
“Disavow other’s accomplishments and other people’s labours. Your love of self, perverted to hatred and contempt for your neighbours.”

If there is one thing I’ve proven with what I’ve done,
It’s that I need no God. Nor his son.
Not Theodorus, but Theocontemnere.
I he’s truly that great, then why is it it’s me the people hear?

Smite me oh mighty God, for here I am greater than thee.
Smite me oh mighty God, oh holy trinity.
The father, the son, and man’s imagination.
Only the weak-minded request your salvation!
To whom is it I need to justify my actions
From whom do I need to seek approval
How long must I wait for a reaction
Should I fear my permanent removal

One last time with my arms spread wide 
I look up to the sky.
I shout up to God
“Smite me oh Lord, for I’m ready to die!”

It’s you I see when looking in the mirror. 
I feel love for myself yet I hate the sinner.
And the harder I deny it, the connection grows thinner.
I slowly separate and move into isolation. 
Where I will perish by my own condemnation.
All I’ll want is my own love and kisses. 
As I embrace the kindred spirit narcissus.

“Disavow other’s accomplishments and other people’s labours. My love of self, perverted to hatred and contempt for my neighbours.”

Superbia

Wrath (Ira):
I will destroy every last one of you
For the lack of respect you’ve shown
I will make you suffer
Feel the pain of every stick you’ve thrown.
And every stone.

I will drink your tears and bathe 
In your children’s blood
From the ocean of revenge
You will all drown in the flood.

All those you love 
and all that you cherish
You will watch them writhe 
As you yourself slowly perish

I will bring down a shitstorm
Leaving nothing but carnage in its wake
This for all the exclusions, name-calling,
Torture and ache.

Hear my last words 
before you meet your demise
You will regret the day 
You chose to victimize.

Wrath

Lust (Luxuria):
You walk past, and smell so clean, so fresh.
I suddenly feel the need to sink my teeth into your flesh

The warmth of your hands…
So soft… The tenderness it had…
The silky cheek on a face so glad.

I stare at you, and undress you with my eyes.
I imagine rolling your panties down your thighs
Over your knees and towards your feet.
For the last part I only use my teeth.

But there you are, now sitting across from me.
Completely dressed
And ignoring me
You look, I give you a nervous smile.
A pathetic attempt to beguile.
How I want to come over
And rip off your clothes
And strip you bare from you head to your toes.

Unwilling to accept rejection, 
I chose to rise above you
Which is when I harshly learnt 
You cannot force someone to love you

Affection nor love could I get.
‘t Was a small step to settle for regret.

Lust

Greed (Avaritia):
Greed they is a sin, 
Yet they're the prime example. Mass mind manipulation,a friendly smile, 
Really a nasty grin.

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti
Omnicorripumus and then we'll take some more

I'll take your money and free will
And give you ignorance in return
Although you must already have loads 
since you already think you'll burn.

If our God's holymen are getting a slice,
then why wouldn't I?
If the Lord gave me the talent from taking things from right before your very eyes
Who could I possibly deny?

Survival of the fittest or survival of the smartest
If you're unable to see what I'm doing why should that bother me?
I'm your master. I'll make you work more for less.
I'm not your average avarice

I'll gladly abuse you
Increase my exploitation
I fear nor share your belief in eternal damnation.

Greed

I translated this deadly sin to modern times, where rather than overindulging in food, we overindulge in alcohol and drugs.

Gluttony (Gula):
Geometric shapes take on the form of anything I want
Liquidized, solid, gas
What I feel or sense, the things I see,
Never before so subjective was reality

All the bright colours and light beams impale me
Burrowing into my soul
The bass nurturing me, keeps me safe
Cushions my movement. Surrounding me, resounding in me.

I’m no longer in control, and I don’t feel the need to be
I’m just letting go, setting my mind and body free
Carry me beyond the altitudes beyond the stars,
And another universe entirely.

Gluttony

Envy (Invidia):
But then there’s the man next door,
With a bigger house and a bigger door

I mean, 
How does an ugly fucker like him end up with a girl like that?
And how does a car get to be owned by such a twat.

I should have a lawn at least twice the size
And it should be at least as green
I should be the one riding smugly on that big mowing machine

At work it’s just the same
Some unrightfully arrogant degenerate taking up all the fame
While the work I do is more accomplished than his by far
Yet he gets the corner office and a company car

Reminds me of younger days back when I wanted a new bike like my friends
But I was forced to watch from inside
As he rode back and forth in all his pride.

While others were playing tag
Screaming and running about
I had to stay inside, too afraid to go out.
I wished I had friends then, to play hide and seek,
To play and laugh with, but I was scared and weak

So read my lips. Listen closely when I say.
I will take what I want from you.
I WILL find a way…

Envy

I deliberately chose to keep the vocabulary simple and lazy for this sin.

Sloth (Acedia):
I feel like doing fuck all.
There’s no real need for me to get up
Yeah, I should work but fuck ‘em all
They can get stuffed
Fuckin’, everyone can just fucking fuck off
Fuck off, get stuffed, piss off

And if anyone calls to tell me
“You have to come in for work today.”
I’d kindly respond
“Well you sir, can go fuck yourself.” 
That’s what I’d say.

I need a moment. I need to just chill a sec.
I need to just sit here and relax,
Before I break someone’s fucking neck.
Just breathe in…
And breathe out…
No reason to be leaving,
No reason to move about.

Let the world burn.
Let the people be dying in pain.
I wouldn’t be able to stop it
My efforts would be in vain.
Besides what would I get from it anyway?
A mere ‘thank you’ and ‘have a nice day?’

Nah, fuck ‘em all
Let them jump off a cliff.
I’m quite happy here thank you!
Just smoking my spliff.

Yeah!ns VoX
