Watching Lucifer Wander... Songtext

von Ordo Equilibrio

So what is so wrongabout lust?
Isn't it just natural to acknowledge excitement,
Accept your instincts,
And truly rejoice in the pleasures of your body and mind?

So what is so wrong about pride?
Isn't it just natural to put oneself above the capability of others,
And truly cherish ones own accomplishments,
Rather than those of the average and ignorant?

'I stand in the rising of a new dawn,
Watching Lucifer wander through the sweet dew of morning'

So what is so wrong about envy?
Isn't it just natural to sometimes feel envious,
When realizing that someone else,
Is of greater possession?

So what is so wrong about greed?
Isn't it just natural to seek for further wealth and comfort,
Rather than to satisfy the yearnings of acquisition,
With the portions already provided?

So what is so wrong about gluttony?
Am I not justified and proficient enough,
To excessively indulge in my individual pleasures,
And decide for myself that which is best for me and my being?

So what is so wrong about wrath?
Am I not entitled to wish for the harm and smite of others,
Especially to those,
Whom are unjust and spiteful to me?

So what is so wrong about sloth?
Am I not capable enough to decide for myself,
When it is time to work, time to play and time to sleep,
As long as I am willing accept the consequences of my actions?

I give praise to the seven deadly sins
And I rather rule in hell,
Than serve in heaven
