Sins

Lust!

Dare your sins
Don’t sooth what burns within
it’s an avid glow
Loath!
Despise your sins
Let grimness rise within
Face your darkest side
I know

Modern sins.
We’re empty inside
Timeless crime’s enticing
Deadly sins
Mere games today

Greed!
Defy our sins
The scorn that grows within
As a hungry wolf
Sloth!
Deny our sins
Don’t care what lies within
Failures at your side
I know

Modern sins
We’re empty inside
Timeless crime’s enticing
Deadly sins
Mere games today
And we all play

What did we do?
Why did we stray?
What has changed to make all these sins easier every day?
Brazen and lost?
Repented and blessed?
Modern sins are deadly still even though we play

Modern sins
We’re empty inside
Timeless crime still charms us
Deadly sins
Mere games today
Shameless we play
