Seven Deadly Sins
Flogging Molly Lyrics

Sail away where no ball and chain
Let's escape from the restrictions that bind us, where nothing can stop us from venturing out into the open sea.

Can keep us from the roarin' waves
Nothing will hold us back from experiencing the waves of life.

Together undivided but forever we'll be free
We'll stick together as a team, united and unbroken, always in search of true freedom.

So sail away aboard our rig
Let's embark on an adventure in our makeshift boat, sailing wherever the wind takes us.

The moon is full and so are we
We're feeling full, content, and happy, much like the full moon that shines above us.

We're seven drunken pirates
We're not perfect, we tend to indulge in vices, like drinking, and sometimes we act like pirates.

We're the seven deadly sins
We embody the seven deadly sins that have plagued humanity for centuries.

So the years rolled by and several died
As time passed, we lost many members of our group.

And left us somewhat reelin'
Their absence left us in shock and unbalanced.

Johnny strummed his Tommy gun
Johnny, who had a weapon, fired it recklessly, causing chaos.

Left blastin' through the ceiling
He shot a hole through the ceiling, showing his destructive nature.

So what became of rebels
What happened to those who fought for freedom?

Who sang for you and me?
Who spoke out for our rights, defending our ability to be different?

Grapplin' with their demons
They were fighting against their inner demons while trying to make a change.

In the seach for liberty
In their quest to obtain freedom.

Suffers who suffer all
Even when others suffer, some people just continue to suffer.

Can swim upon the desert
These people can overcome impossible odds, such as swimming in a desert.

Where avarice have ravaged all
In a place where greed has destroyed everything.

In spite of good intentions
Even when someone has good intentions, there are still obstacles to overcome.

Don't fill your mouth with gluttony
Don't overindulge in food, drink, or other pleasures, as it can lead to spiritual damage.

For pride will surely swell
Too much emphasis on oneself can also do spiritual harm.

But nothing's unforgiven in the four corners of hell
Even though there are consequences for sins, they can be forgiven in the afterlife.

Envy and its evill twin
Envy and slander often go hand in hand.

It crepy in bed with slander
Envy often fuels slanderous speech.

Idiots they gave advice
Ignorant people give advice that they're not qualified to give.

But sloth it gave no answer
Sloth is often silent and doesn't offer guidance when it's needed.

Anger kills the human soul
Anger causes serious harm to one's spirit.

With butter tales of lust
With sweet lies and stories of pleasure.

While pavlov's Dogs keep chewin'
Meanwhile, people continue to repeat the same destructive habits over and over again.

On the legs they never trust
People often fail to trust their own instincts and resort to destructive behaviors.

But It's the only life we'll know
This is our only chance at life.

Blagards to the bome
We live life to the fullest, without any restrictions.

So don't wreck yourself
Don't ruin your own life by indulging in negative behaviors.

Take an honest grip
Get a firm grip on your life and make an honest effort to improve.

For there's more tales beyond the shore
There's more to life than what we currently know, and more adventures to be had.

In and out came crawlin' out
People who were previously absent return to the group.

And spewed upon the ceiling
They cause chaos and destruction, leaving a mess behind.

Grapplin; with their demons
They are still struggling with their inner demons and personal problems.

In the seach for liberty
They're still seeking true freedom.
