Temptation

歌詞

Temptation's outside, knocking at my door (Knocking at my door, knocking at my door) I won the battle last night, but I'm still at war (Still at war, still at war) I starve my flesh and feed my spirit with faith (Feed my spirit with faith) Then raise hell till it's up at heaven's gates (Gates) Temptation creeps into an idle mind Lack of purpose is the place, seeking pleasure resides And feels safe (And gets its strength) Temptation loves fame, serves ego and pride Mama told me, "Two wrongs don't make no right" So I pray (The temptation away) Temptation makes slaves out of lustful eyes (Out of lustful eyes) It'll rob you of your happiness and pay you attention with lies (With lies, gon' pay attention) In that darkness, you'll find shame's not worth your time (It's not worth your time) Then appraise your sin for the cost of peace of mind (Oh, yeah) Temptation creeps into an idle mind Lack of purpose is the place, seeking pleasure resides And feels safe (And gets its strength) Temptation loves fame, serves ego and pride Mama told me, "Two wrongs don't make no right" So I pray (The temptation away) Down by the river dale In the garden where the snake tempted Adam and Eve They ate the fruit and from those seeds Grew the roots of this family tree It's why we struggle, it's why we fight Our mother's nature, father time The human race, but fall behind Dying to live, but all living to die For goodness' sake We've been atone for sins and given God's grace Stuck in this Babylonic world we can't escape Going to war with demons every day The soul and spirit break, that's why I pray Temptation's outside, knocking at my door (Temptation's knocking at my door) I won the battle last night, but I'm still at war (I am still at war) I starve my flesh and feed my spirit with faith (I will feed my spirit with faith) And raise hell till it's up at heaven's gates (I raise hell) I raise hell (Down by the riverdale) Till it's up at heaven's gates
