Temptation — Dax

Temptation's outside knockin' at my door I won the battle last night, but I'm still at war I starve my flesh and feed my spirit with faith Then raise hell 'til it's up at Heaven's gates Temptation creeps into an idle mind Lack of purpose is the place, seekin' pleasure resides And feels safe (and gets its strength) Uh, 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, 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, seekin' pleasure resides And feels safe (and gets its strength) Uh, 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 Dyin' to live, but all livin' 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 Goin' to war with demons every day The soul and spirit break, that's why I pray Temptation's outside, knockin' at my door (temptation's knockin' 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 'til it's up at Heaven's gates (I raise hell) Down by the riverdale 'til it's up at heaven's gates
