Several Sins A Day (Demo)

As God is watching, I'm committing several sins a day

And I commit them even as I'm sitting down to pray

I must admit that I committed several on the way

Oh, how am I to pay for several sins a day?

I know he disapproves of how I'm dressing when I wake

He's adding to his list with every blessing that I make

I must confess that I transgress with every breath I take

Oh, how am I to pay for several sins a day?

They're heating spikes on which to hook me

Stirring pots in which to cook me

Cauldrons filled with oil

With ravens' wings and lizards' tails

And spiders' legs and witches' nails

Coming to a boil

A certain kind of serpent that was bred and cared for

Has a fang that's dripping venom just prepared for me

It's worth the price if I can get the learning that I crave

Even though I know my father's turning in his grave

It wouldn't hurt if I was also learning to be brave

For the time when I'll pay for my several sins a day

I can't believe I've come this far and no one's gotten wise

And seen through my disguise

Or caught me in the lies I tell

How long can I perpetuate this tampering with fate?

I fear the answers wait for me in hell

Caves to make me shake and shiver

Filled with rats to eat my liver

Bats to scratch my eyes

With leeches keen to suck my blood

And turn my marrow into mud

Rejoicing in my cries

All the demons that the wicked ever prayed to

Wait with other evil things that I'm afraid to say

As God is watching, I'm committing several sins a day

And I commit them even as I'm sitting down to pray

And I submit that I'm omitting several on the way

Someday I'll have to pay for several sins a day

I know that I will have to pay for several sins a day

Someday I know I'll have to pay for several sins a day

I know that I will have to pay for several sins a day
