TEMPTATION


OUT OF REACH, IN MY SIGHT
SITTING IN THE BRILLIONT LIGHT

MY MUSCLES HURT AND BURN
HEAD ACHES, STOMACH CHURN

IN HASTE I BREATH FAST THEN HARD
TEASES ME FROM ABOUT A YARD

I SQEEZE MY EYES, CLENCH MY JAW
THEN IT TIPS AND STARTS TO FALL

WENT TO FAR TO SAVE
TIL IT FINALLY GAVE

ON MY HANDS AND KNEES I STARE
AND THERE IT IS THAT TERRIBLE FEAR

GRABBING FOR SOMETHING AROUND
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT I FOUND

TWISTED, FILTHY INAMIMATE
THERE AS IF BY SUDDEN FATE

EVIL IS TALKING REAL SMOOTH
BUT DOES IT SET TO SOOTH

GENTLE, GENEROUS TO LEND A HAND
AROUND THE WEIGHST A FIREY BAND

"LET US TALK FOR WHAT IS DEAR"
HIS VOICE HAD A HINT OF CHEER

"DO FOR ME, AN THEN WHEN THROUGH,
YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU HOLD TRUE"

I PONDER IN ALL THIS CONFUSION
WHAT IS IT THAT HE'S A DOIN'

UGLE, FAWL WITH HIS GRIN
WHERE HAS THE MAN REALLY BEEN?

HOW DOES HE KNOW MY FALLIN'
HERE AT MY SILENT CALLIN'

ARM OUT, OPEN FIST
VISION OF ETERNAL BLISS

"LISTEN IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD
AND GO DO WHAT YOU SHOULD"
