Temptation

Lead us not… unto temptation

Lead us not… unto temptation

Lead us not… unto temptation

What if the earth opened up beneath our feet?

Then all tomorrows might ignite on borrowed wings

And what if we saw through a million eyes set free?

Would we see bright light surrounding, cleansing thee?

Lead us not

Electric barbed wire rattle out that cage

Lead us not

Endless shadows that would bind you in blind rage

Lead us not

What if the language that was spoken was not our own?

Then you could bless my weary body-tongue to bone

And what if love was but a breath while falling down?

I might think in lesser shades while trailing you

All from palest gray to paler blue

Now have you found it?

Do you like it?

Yes, I do

What if I sucked you to dry fault and what if you let me?

Would you because what I no longer wished to see?

Empty core, obsidian

An iridescent red fire strangling you

And what if every dream you left behind was plausible?

Then time would tear itself asunder, nasty wound

A splitting image, jagged members dead too soon

What if you were not yourself, but bigger than?

Then I would surely fall in love with you… again

Lead us not… unto temptation
