Temptation
Intensity fills the love
Of my heart.
Shattered jewels,
Heartfelt cries of pain
To God and tears
In my eyes.
Running cries,
Running cries.
I see love that never
Dies.
I jumped out of a fire
With my clothes burning.
Smite and trot,
Smite and trot.
Smoking hot,
Steaming like a pot.
I see a glimpse of hell
And beneath me sinners
Fell.
I see a glimpse of heaven
And above me there is
A bell.
The bell rings
And a trumpet of
Heaven sings.
I roll in the grass
And think of all
The evil that comes
To pass.
I smite thee evil,
I smite thee!
My works are holy,
I avoid the evil
And do the good
But temptation stays
And wicked thoughts
In my heart plays.
The moisture on the grass
Killed the flames
But my heart is still
Weak for dames.
