Don't fear the dark
Don't fear the thunder
Don't fear the silence
Nor the spirits of the dead
Instead fear me
For I am Avarice
I am Deceipt
And I'm just around the bend

They're in your neighbor
They're in your best friend
They're in the hearts and minds
Of those you though you knew
You can't escape them
They're showing up everywhere
The temptation we all fear
Lies just ahead

These deadly sins
Though I don't consider them friends
I still had to see them today
Trusting others seems so risky
I cower among them
Seeking shelter from their moral decay

They call your name
They say follow me
Don't be a fool
Don't you dare
They say they care

They say trust me
Don't believe their lies

The sick minds we harbor
Make news every day
Propaganda machine
Demands we see the worst
Why are the good so bad for TV
While the Seven Deadly Sins
Get the airplay'
