Seven shadows

Intro – low / spoken]
They said the sins were stories…
But I see them walking the streets.

⸻

[Verse 1]
Pride in the mirrors, crowns made of glass
Everyone king till the kingdom cracks
Greed in the pockets, hands never full
Counting gold while the hungry pull
Lust in the screens, bodies on sale
Hearts getting cheap, souls getting pale
Envy scrolling, comparing lives
Jealous eyes wearing perfect disguises

Gluttony feeding on more than bread
Consuming attention till spirit’s dead
Wrath in the comments, fire in speech
Burning bridges with every reach
Sloth in the silence, watching decay
Knowing the truth but looking away

⸻

[Hook / Chorus]
Seven shadows walking the day
How does Heaven feel watching the play?
Do angels cry or turn away
When we choose darkness over grace?
I look around and I can’t pretend
The sins ain’t stories — they’re wearing skin
Still I whisper up through the noise
“Are we lost… or still Your choice?”

⸻

[Verse 2]
Billboards preaching what we should be
While souls shrink quietly
Power chasing empty thrones
Loud outside, hollow bones
We trade kindness for clout and fame
Then wonder why the world feels strange
We built towers tall with pride
But forgot who gave us sky

I ain’t pointing fingers — I’m in the crowd
Fighting shadows that talk too loud
Trying to keep my heart from rust
Trying to choose love over lust

⸻

[Bridge – softer / spiritual]
Maybe Heaven doesn’t shout…
Maybe it waits…
For us to listen.

⸻

[Final Hook / Outro]
Seven shadows, seven chains
But mercy still falls like rain
Maybe God don’t turn away
Maybe He’s hoping we’ll change
I see the darkness, I feel the strain
But light still whispers through the pain
The world ain’t gone, not yet, not today —
We’re still one choice away.
