Lyrics - Seven by Copyright

Pride had
Faith on the road, then they walked for awhile'
Til they sussed
Hope and
Lust, who winked at
Faith and smiled
Though
Lust
Faith had always hated,
Pride held
Hope and soon was sated
So
Gluttony and
Sloth were born of
Faith and
Hope's desire
In the froth of
Pride their sire
The barbarity is
Charity is wet nurse to both
In prosperity a verity loathed
As we search and search, but do not find
Some kind of heaven, seven
When the seventh surgeon kissed her and enhanced her
Then my well-missed sister was burgeoning with cancer
The transcendentalist had shown her the answer
You're never alone when you're a topless dancer
As inside we fight what we hide from sight
All is equable in
God's own eyes
Seven wrong and seven right
Wrath came upon
Fortitude in the flowers
Prudence spied from the path, while
Fortitude coaxed and mewed for hours
Then to
Temperance his wife's dismay
Wrath quaffed
Greed and
Envy's cunning offering of a cocktail tray
Now
Wrath subdued
Envy with
Greed raped
Fortitude'
Til
Justice descended her tower and spoke
She
Wrath awoke and held
Wrath's coat while
Wrath slit both their throats
Seven sisters smoking marijuana, mexicana
In their
Duenna's absence, listening to
Madonna
With their pasha distant, subsistent on bananas
Ever glister in their visitless zenana
Seven days and seven nights, seven brothers, seven kites
Flown on seven testing flights, seven days the sun shone bright
Seven nights by candlelight
Seven brothers seven kites, flown into the seventh night
