Em                  D
Seven deadly sins,  seven ways to win,
Am                  Cmaj7          Em
seven holy paths to hell  and your trip begins.

Em                     D
Seven downward slopes, seven bloodied hoopes
Am                     Cmaj7       D
seven are your burning fires       seven your desires
