7 deadly sins circulate inside of you
Yet what is a sin, but greatness's deterrent?

Putrid and wasteful, devouring all you can take
Insatiable hunger and overconsumption to the point of waste
A hole in your stomach that cannot be filled
You won't sit and take only the little

But the losers who only take the little, the winners want more
To fit everything inside their titanic maw
If you have the gluttony of a king
In years and years, it is your name they will sing

Feeding is not just what you eat, it's what you consume
Knowledge, power, glory will all be taken to your tomb
If you want everything and anything, the ripest of ripe
Than you will lead a rich, rich life

So you are a hole, and you're not getting any younger
It must be filled, now harness it's hunger
