Temporary anesthesia, a pill, a drink, money and sex
Feels good for a moment, creates chains so complex.
The lure of pleasure is powerful, seducing the flesh
Promise fo escape, but delivers painful regrets
Unable to notice while caught in it's stare
The links being forged in this deadly snare
The illusion seems so real, so easy to believe
Through selfish gratification the heart is deceived.
Oh dear God, what is there to do
When selfish desire turns us from you
Forgive us and help us, teach us your way
And please Lord deliver us, from going astray.
