A demon lies in wait
Bound by chains of morals
Who are you to release its Wrath;
Using forbidden power
For selfish gain.
What will be your fate
What will be your fate?

Such evil cannot be undone
Pride does not condone
The knowledge weighs you down
So many voices impossible to drown
The voices of those
You thought of in Envy
Now left in the wake
Of the demons destruction.
What will ease the pain
What will ease the pain?

Gluttony burns deep
Within the demons being
It won't settle
Till it finds what it seeks
Status, money, Lust, power
None will satisfy
It desires all.
When will it stop
When will it stop?

Sloth has won
Your energy gone
You lie there heavily breathing.
What comes next
What comes next?

You thought you could control it
You thought you were strong
Greed has consumed you
Leaving an empty shell
You are hollow
You are nothing
You are just another soul
Left behind in the demon's wake.
You were warned
You were warned.
