[Verse 1]
[male vocal]
Wrath walks in with iron knuckles
Teeth like broken crowns
Envy limps with emerald fingers
Picking every sound
Pride’s in rusted armor
Laughing
Calling down the fight
We were scattered little monsters
Now we circle in the night
[female vocal]
Greed counts scars like sacred treasure
Every wound a coin
Gluttony keeps chasing fullness
Hollow at the joints
Lust lights candles
Trembling fingers
Never quite content
Sloth just watches from the doorway
Saving strength for when it’s meant
[Chorus]
[both]
We are the sevenfold covenant
Falling
Failing
Crawling toward ascent
Every fracture
Every fracture
Becomes a binding chain
We are the sevenfold covenant
In our ruin
Something heaven-sent
Growing black wings from our bad blood
Learning how to love our shame
[Verse 2]
[male vocal]
I was Wrath
All teeth and thunder
Burning everything I touched
Thought that breaking made me stronger
Only ever came to dust
[female vocal]
I was Lust
A haunted mirror
Every face a quick escape
Now I see your jagged edges
Fit the outline of my ache
[male vocal]
Pride kneels down
A cracked old statue
Chips his name out of the stone
Greed lets go of one small coin
Feels his hands are finally grown
[female vocal]
Sloth takes one defiant footstep
Gluttony learns how to fast
Envy says
“I’ll stand beside you
Maybe we can share what lasts”
[Chorus]
[both]
We are the sevenfold covenant
Falling
Failing
Crawling toward ascent
Every fracture
Every fracture
Becomes a binding chain
We are the sevenfold covenant
In our ruin
Something heaven-sent
Growing black wings from our bad blood
Learning how to love our shame
[Bridge]
[breakdown groove
Call-and-response]
[male vocal]
Name your poison
[female vocal]
I’ll drink mine too
[male vocal]
Name your hunger
[female vocal]
I starve with you
[male vocal]
Name your shadow
[female vocal]
I’ll stand inside
[both]
Seven sins in locked formation
Marching as a single spine
[Chorus]
[both
Extended]
We are the sevenfold covenant
Falling
Failing
Crawling toward ascent
Every fracture
Every fracture
Becomes a binding chain
We are the sevenfold covenant
In our ruin
Something heaven-sent
We were monsters made for solitude
Now we swear this curse as friends
[outro]
[male vocal
Low]
Wrath and Mercy
[female vocal
Soaring]
Lust and Trust
[male vocal]
Pride and Humble
[female vocal]
Ash and dust
[both]
Seven sins
One vow unbroken
Stronger where we once were split
In the furnace of our failings
We were forged to live with it
