Temptation...
As leaves fall on a perfect autumn,
Sorrow takes part in us
As summer springs a perfect blossom
Shadowed by mistrust
We face ourselves
A picture broken
And to the end -
We are dust
Betrayal comes through serpent's eyes
Shattering old lies
Consuming autumn beauty
Bringing winter's sighs
An encrypted waterfall
We no longer understand
Ignorance knows nothing
While wisdom cries
Cold and unsafe
We reach for our own mind
The heart is now forgotten
Long lost it was blind
Father teaches us all
Yet we know none
Suddenly all vivid
And our purity is gone
Regrets we have few
Not for show - but for pondering
To seek within our souls
What our thoughts are now binding
An encrypted waterfall
We no longer understand
Ignorance knows nothing
While wisdom cries
Exiled for unveiling
The misty clouds of god
Temptation - are we different?
For truth runs in our blood
Is this the end of choices?
A divine end - I must say
Fools remain in heaven
While as humans we must pay
