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.
I will give you the world if you just worship me,
You can be king of this world, oh so pretty,
Just kneel on your knees discreetly.
If you do it quick, no one will see,
The one you serve will reward you eventually,
That's what he says, but how sure can you be,
Pledge allegiance to me, you'll get your fantasy,
Forget your so-called god listen to me.
Blessed is the man that endures temptation,
After he is tried, he shall receive,
A crown of life the lord has promised,
To those that love him, i love him,
Get the hence satan.
Tempting me to
Follow farther,
From the pathway,
Of the father,
I have committed my
Course, i trample,
Straight and narrow,
This is my home.
Hear me, lucifer.
You shall not tempt me. (4x)
Lay down your crown and grab a hamburger,
Sesame, more pickles, extra cheese in.
You're so tired of fighting, don't you hate the stress?
I'm dying for you to try my invention,
A system where you can be just like the rest,
It will feel so nice to have no reason.
Satan, i know your kingdom's a stupid mess,
I will never experiment with treason.
Get behind me.
For it is written,
Worship only the
Lord thy god and him,
Shalt thou serve.
Tempting me to
Follow farther,
From the pathway,
Of the father,
I have committed my
Course, i trample,
Straight and narrow,
This is my home.
Hear me, lucifer.
You shall not tempt me (4x)
You will not tempt me (4x)
Pluck this fruit,
Ripe and succulent
Before your eyes,
Have a thrill.
Taste this fruit,
You shall be as gods,
Knowing good and evil.
I know what happened when they chose to taste,
Yes, i know what happened when they chose to taste.
I know what happened when they chose to taste,
Yes, i know what happened when they chose to taste.
Tempting me to
Follow farther,
From the pathway,
Of the father,
I have committed my
Course, i trample,
Straight and narrow,
This is my home.
Hear me, lucifer.
You shall not tempt me (4x)
You will not tempt me (4x)
Cause i know what happened when they chose to taste,
Yes, i know what happened when they chose to taste.
