I prosper in the miasma of sin
My name is Lust;
Please give in

Heed my words, heed them well
My name is Envy;
A lord of hell

Oh how I cherish the taste of hate
My name is Wrath;
The sealer of fate

I am the god of poisoned meat
My name is Gluttony;
Would you like a sweet?

Harbor and nurse, then defend
My name is Pride;
Dare not offend

Honest work? Why ever bother?
My name is Sloth;
I'll pester my brother

Give me this, give me that!
My name is Greed;
Like my hat?

You've met my children; enter my hall
My names are many;
You'll learn them all
