I. Avarice

II. Pangs of Envy

III.Paroxysm of Wrath


AVARICE - Gateway Part I

Convinced in a creed

It's best to have more

The malicious greed

Lurks behind this door



Machining the greed

in material need



You materialistic fools

spinning voracious spools

Fill a void with empty toys

Heed upon the avid voice

Within your edacity

we find your voracity

For your tenuous soul

Not to fulfill the whole



Incongruous drive

In Covet and take

Leeringly derive

Avaricious rake



Machining the greed

in material need



PANGS OF ENVY - Gateway Part II

Hunting prey for selfish pleasure

No bounds of lust will measure



More than before

Less than ahead

A vacuum that roar

The task that misled



Suffer the pangs of envy

The curtain of jealousy

A net that you have made

In moments that quickly fade



The sin of the moment can't confine

An emptiness you can't define



The jaundiced eye

With selfishness

Love's joy you deny

With bitterness



In a copulate nature

The state of carnal feature

What you can't have you'll take

Becomes another mistake



PAROXYSM OF WRATH - Gateway Part III

With fury you thrust

and anger to combust

A heart filled with hate

lies beyond the gate



Angry and pained

Wrath, he's disdained



In your rampant

state of being

Through eyes of rage

repugnant feeling



Angry and pained

Wrath, he's disdained



In his bitter quests

He loathes and detests

In diffidence

In virulence

With asperity

and hostility

hostility



The ferocious scourge with caustic scorn

Apogee reached, enraged and torn



In his tenebrous misguided state

Permeate with darkness, thrust forth irate



The turpitude of compassion

Rancor permeates in wan fashion



To pour the vials of wrath of this age





The paroxysm of towering rage

Overall Meaning

The song Gateway To Deadly Sins by Unleashed Power is about the three deadly sins of Avarice, Envy, and Wrath. In the first part of the song, Avarice, the lyrics discuss how the "malicious greed" lurks behind the door of those who believe in having more. The materialistic need to fill a void with empty toys, and the avid voice that they heed upon is what drives them, although it is incongruous and an indifferent drive. The Machining of greed in material need is said twice as a warning, describing how materialism can be problematic.


The second part of the song, Pangs of Envy, talks about how people hunt prey for selfish pleasure and the bounds of lust will not measure them. They suffer the pangs of envy and jealousy, which is a net that they themselves have weaved. In moments that quickly fade, they wallow in an emptiness they cant define. The sin of the moment they commit cannot confine them.


The third part of the song, Paroxysm of Wrath, talks about how with fury and anger, they can thrust forward and combust with a heart filled with hate. They loathe and detest and are in a state of diffidence and virulence. In his tenebrous misguided state, he permeates with darkness, thrust forth irate. This paroxysm of towering rage showcases the turpitude of compassion and how rancor permeates in wan fashion to pour the vials of wrath of this age.
