Seven
Crisix Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back in the first steps
of the whole of Christianity
They tried to teach us their beliefs
Satan is alive
through the seven deadly sins
The spirit could be willing but the flesh
is weak

Just another victim at the gates of hell
Deadly sins of pleasure, sons of the human
race

Seven ways! Seven feelings!
Seven... parts of human being!

Seven ways!
Chose your way to sin
Seven Feelings!
Feel it burnin' in
Seven!
Seven parts of human being

Useless empty words
from the lies of the church
Cruel abuse of power over faith
Practice what you preach
hypocritical piece of shit
You are the first one who sins

Just another victim at the gates of hell
Deadly sins of pleasure, sons of the human
race
Just another woman
Just another man
Just another sinner
that will burn in flames

Greed, Wrath
Sloth, Lust

Gluttony, Envy
and Pride!

Overall Meaning

The song "Seven" by Crisix delves into the concept of the seven deadly sins and critiques the hypocrisy of the church. The lyrics highlight the attempts of Christianity to impose their beliefs on people and teach them about the seven deadly sins. It is believed that Satan is present in these sins, and while the spirit might be willing, the flesh is weak, allowing these sins to overcome the human being. The seven deadly sins are Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride.

The song then goes on to criticize the church and its practice of preaching, yet not practicing what they preach. The lyrics seem to suggest that those who preach are often the ones who are the first to commit sins. The song calls out the church for its cruel abuse of power over faith and highlights the hypocrisy of preaching one thing and doing another. The lyrics end on a somber note, with the realization that everyone is a sinner and will eventually face their fate at the gates of hell.
