Temptation

To each and every one of us

Temptation calls...

Sings its siren song...

Begs us all: simply come along

For the ride of your life

For that trip into more strife

But do you ever realise until too late

The underside: the flip-side of your fate

Temptation comes in many guises

It is so full of surprises...

Little things you never thought to do

Simple things that beckon out to you

Will you come and play a game?

Will you think to waste your time?

It's just a little bit bad to do...

Nobody will ever see you...

Don't worry it won't hurt a bit...

That's the catch cry: that's a part of it...

But with the action comes the fruit

The effect that replies to the cause

Will you put your life on pause?

While fate catches up with you...

It may seem that you have escaped your fate

Until suddenly it all simply comes undone...

Well, you did have your bit of fun

But when it's time to pay the price...

You just want to run and run...

Too bad...too late...it's time to pay the piper

It's time to accept that bad deeds were done

Will you say you didn't enjoy it?

Therefore it wasn't worth the time...

If you can do the crime

You must be prepared to do the time...

Time waits for no-one...

It seems to accelerate a pace

Will you be left seeing stars?

As you fall upon your sorry face...
