[Intro – Echoing bells, broken whispers, low drone] (Pride... Envy... Wrath...) (Gluttony... Lust... Greed... Sloth...) [Verse 1 – Haunting and poetic] Seven voices in my throat Each one wears my skin like smoke A mirror cracked in seven ways Reflects the mask I wear today One was crowned in empty praise Another burned for brighter days One just stared and begged for more Another slept behind locked doors [Chorus – Half-sung, half-chanted] And I wore the crown of flies Built from all my hungers’ lies Seven faces, one regret A god I made from my own death Each sin a thread Each thread a chain I named the beast And wore its name [Verse 2 – Darker, heavier] I kissed the pride that made me blind Drank the envy just to feel divine Ripped the teeth of wrath and shame Fed the lust and took the blame I begged for gold I’d never spend Ate until I split again Slept while fires touched my feet Then woke to find my soul half-eaten [Bridge – Spoken, over feedback] They didn’t whisper. They screamed. And I let them. Because they sounded like me. [[Guitar Solo] – Mournful into spiraling chaos, bending into a shriek] [Verse 3 – Accelerating, chaotic] Now I can't tell which voice is mine They're stacked like bones along my spine One says "kill," one says "kneel" One says “nothing that you feel is real” They wear my skin when I am weak They kiss my wounds and make me speak In tongues of fire, ash, and bile They make my face a second smile [Instrumental Break – Drum and bass only, pulsing heartbeat, layered with distorted screams and ambient moans] [Bridge 2 – Each Sin Speaks (whispered, overlapping)] [Pride:] You were nothing 'til you wore me [Envy:] You looked in the mirror and saw everyone else [Wrath:] I gave you fire—why didn't you aim? [Lust:] You begged, then blamed me for the ache [Greed:] I gave you everything, and you asked for more [Gluttony:] I filled you up—why are you still empty? [Sloth:] You let us in. You left the door open. [Breakdown – Slow, grotesque, chant-like] We are legion We are flesh We are hunger We are death You are hollow You are throne You are us You are alone [Final Chorus – Shattered, broken melody, screamed and sung] And I wore the crown of flies Each jewel a sin I can’t deny No kings, no gods, no light, no law Just echo-eyes and broken jaw Each sin a thread Each thread a chain I wore their weight And died unchained [Final Outro – Whispered, barely audible, like a lullaby from the grave] (Pride… Envy… Wrath…) (Gluttony… Lust… Greed… Sloth…) (You fed us well… You are… what’s left of us…) …And we are never hungry again.
