Lyrics
Temptation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Temptation drags you down
Take you were you wanna be
But deep inside you know
The reason for the fear
The fear of letting go
The fear of being so
Possessed
All the time
Being hypnotised
By those evil evil eyes
Lead me not into
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Paralyse the thoughts
Beat them to the ground
Offer up a sacrifice
Don't feed the fear
The fear of letting go
The fear of being so
Possessed
All the time
Being hypnotised
By those evil evil eyes
Lead me not into
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It offers everything
That you could possibly need
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It all looks so inviting
Till it drags you to you knees
Temptation
