seven deadly sins
Natalie Merchant
seven deadly sins 歌詞
Well, of all those seven deadly sins, I
Wore around my neck for him
Hunger, anger, lust, and greed
Envy, pride, and jealousy
There was one, I guess, that was the worst of all
That gave a little push, started the fall
From grace that I took so high
I took so long, so long and far
But I just couldnt spend me another night
In the cold, cold bed of the butchers wife
So afraid to fall asleep
Afraid to wake, and afraid to dream
No, I just couldnt stay, I couldnt wait it out
Bite my tongue for another hour
One more endless day
Day after night, and night after day
Well its been a two year stint in No Mans Land
Nobody here really gives a damn
So why dont we call it a draw in the bloody war
To end all wars?
In the bloody war
In the bloody way
In the bloody, bloody war
In the bloody, bloody war
Well, Im far too quick with the poison pen
Cant believe Im writing again
After all these God damned years
And some day when the ghosts have all gone home
Far too late to be rattling bones
Then will you lay me down?
Lay me down
Oh, will you let it be?
Such a bloody war
Such a bloody war
Such a bloody, bloody war
Such a bloody war
Such a bloody war
Such a bloody, bloody war
