These 3 Sins Lyrics

These 3 sins have finally found me:
Lust, Ambition and Greed
Creepin' in the back door, they came without warning
They burned whatever they could steal
They burned whatever they could steal

So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
We're your friends

These 3 sins have fell from their horses
And taken me and you for a ride
Deliver us from evil, let the devil disown me
The serpents and the snakes will decide
The serpents and the snakes will decide

So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
We're your friends

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Lust, ambition and greed are fruitless attempts at living your dream. Lust will make you long for a monogomaous (spelling) relationship, ambition will let you down, and greed leaves you with more shit than you need.

"They burned whatever they could steal"

Meaning they destroyed whatever was gained (out of guilt?), so it was a waste of effort.

Falling off horses and riding humans is what I get out of the second verse, meaning, they no longer become abstract, they take on human forms. The serpents and snakes may have to do with the Garden of Evil and the Original Sin, which is I guess being told not to do something but ignoring the warning, so our children are doomed to do the same, that is, finding out for themselves what it means to be sinful and how the reprecussions build up.

I used to think he was saying "We're not your lover, we're your friends", but I just don't know anymore.

Telling sins that we're your friends probably is meant to be ironic, otherwise, it would be contradictory. Maybe it's about calming them down by telling them we're your equals and don't think of ourselves as higher beings.
