Seven sins defiled my soul
Tied my tongue to throw unholy shame
Upon my frame

Deaf and dumb and almost blind
Withered and lame and slow of mind I cried
Deep down inside

My mind said life's a play
My heart said seize the day
I'll paint a pretty picture while I may

I cast off the scales of night
Crimson washed my garments white
And put me right

My mind said life's a play
My heart said seize the day
I'll paint a pretty picture while I may

The sacred cryptic code and key
Suddenly were revealed for me to see
Every mystery

My mind said life's a play
My heart said seize the day
I'll paint a pretty picture while I may
Today's my dying day
And soon I'll float away
I'll paint a pretty picture while I may
