SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Written by: CJ SMITH

WELL I WALKED INTO A GASLIGHT BAR
THERE WERE 7 PAINTED ANGELS DRINKING WHISKY FROM A JAR
THERE WAS A PREACHER WITH A BIBLE CALLING 7 SINNERS HOME
THERE WERE 6 SLAVES CHAINED TOGETHER ONE ALONE

THERE WAS A BANQUET FIT FOR 7 KINGS LINED UP ALONG THE WALL
THERE WERE 7 HARLOTS ENTERTAINED IN ROOMS ACROSS THE HALL THERE WERE 7 SETS OF SETS OF STEELY EYES ON EVERY FANCY PRIZE THERE WERE 7 KINDS OF TRUTH AND 7 LIES

I SAW ST. PETER IN A BOOTH WITH 7 LADIES OF THE NIGHT
THERE WERE 7 DRUNKEN IRISHMEN OUT LOOKING FOR A FIGHT
THERE WERE 7 KINDS OF SADNESS AND TEMPTATION CLOSING IN
AT THE HOUSE OF 7 DEADLY SINS

who do you c all... backs to the wall.
WELL satans got thOSE sinners set
with 7 deadly sins and the rest of us pray to the lord
with 7 kinds of hymns... who do you call

I SAW 7 FAT MAGICIANS DOING CARD TRICKS BY THE DOOR
there were 7 u.s. presidents PASSED OUT AROUND THE FLOOR
there were 7 despots dining on the spoils of foreign aid
7 undertakers leaning on their spades

there were 7 kinds of envy bringing 7 kinds of grief
and 7 wise men bearing gifts of worth beyond belief
there were 7 ways of dying AND there were 7 ways to live
but no way to forget or to forgive

so i tried to leave this house of pain but the door had turned to stone
there was no retreat and no escape this house was now my home
it was time to pay the piper AND The walls were CLOSING IN
AT THE HOUSE OF 7 DEADLY SINS

who do you c all... backs to the wall.
WELL satans got thOSE sinners set
with 7 deadly sins and the rest of us pray to the lord
with 7 kinds of hymns... who do you call
