Temptation
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
It was so nice of you to bring me here
You said you had to test me
Make sure my love was good enough
Here in this Valley you left me
Screaming my insanity
I pray please God let me go
Death is coming here
And He's no friend of mine
I shall not be afraid
You said you'd never leave me
You said I'd never need
But the creed was greed
Temptations strong
And the only way to win
Is to give in
You promised you would always stay
But I gave into temptation
And you turned and walked away
Left me on my own
But I already knew
Every word you ever said
Was just another lie
So I sinned and sinned
Holding down this guilty feeling
You brought me here to prove to you
But you took away my doubt
So I sinned and sinned
To prove to myself
This pastures just a cage
And this sweet crystal water
Is laced with Cyanide
Darkness is everywhere
Telling me to come in
Holding back this emptiness
I wont do it again
Father why have you forsaken me
Everything feels like pretend
All I know is these walls are closing in
You brought me here to prove my love
But I wont do it again
Temptations strong
And the only way to win
Is to give in
