Temptation (Again)

by Just Sierra   Mar 13, 2005


I sit alone by the fire
Wondering why pain is all I feel
And why loneliness is filled with sorrow
Hoping that I can heal with tomorrow

The fire feels cold
Against my skin
My once source of heat
Is now a sin

Oh Devil just take me
Away to your lair
Maybe the extreme temperature
Will heat my skin bare

Oh God I swear I once believed
In a time where everything was right
That angels were singing
All through the night

I guess this was a dream
Because nothing seems real
Nothing will comfort me
Or will ever this burn heal?

Oh my shallow ache
The depth within my mind
The thirst I love to slake
But is rare to ever find

I remember a time
When love was once a game
Something happened between us two
And now nothing will ever be the same

Oh Angels of despair
Stop taunting me with your glow
And take my life away
Before I realize that I have nothing left to show

I’ve been robbed of happiness
From the person in the mirror
She loves to show me my flaws
And tell me I’m inferior

Oh self pity
Do you understand me now?
You’ve always wondered why
I like to dip low when I bow

You’ve always seen my head fall
But said not even a word
Like you could see right through me
Though I’ve never been heard

So, when will my voice
Finally make a change?
By the time I’m too old
And my mind becomes too strange

Oh Please God
Just hear me out
All of the human race
Is somehow filled with doubt

How come we spend our lives
Trying to win over petty wars
About opinions, religions, and the color of our skin
Whatever happened to opening more doors?

You created us to sin
So this I do not understand
How come you allow us to kill
But you still reprimand

So, does that make you sinned
The saint we all took faith in
The person who watched us as we slept
Is also messed up within?

Dear Sweet Glory
We still haven’t won
The wars that plague our men
Are unfinished and undone

Oh Satan
Why do you tempt me
To end my life so quickly
But you still won’t exempt me

A death of any kind
That would lead me far away from here
Seems to comfort me
And all of my fears

But God, I do love you
For you are just like me
That sometimes we’re blinded
From the things we feel and not see

It’s up to you to make the decision
To provide people with a new kind of vision
Their eyes would be blinded and yet they’d see
How to move and where to be
