Seven deadly sins
once it starts, it never ends
watch out around the bend
for seven deadly sins

[Sin number five] was when you smiled
[Sin number six] was when you let me stay
sin number seven was when you touched me
and told me why
        
Seven deadly sins
That's how the world begins
Watch out when you step in
For seven deadly sins
