Wide paved roads to the purple tabernacle of sin
many a heart the devil's way and pleasures let astray
Empty souls he thought that he would masterly win
battles faught and crusades of war led the way
Echo's of evil laughter filled the feast of flesh and bone
shattered tomorrows, scattered everywhere, all alone
Blinded with promises of pleasure and endless wealth
sacrificing all you have, your heart, soul, your health
Endless dwellings in your temple cell of darkness
craving your next fix with nothing to sell or pawn
Clouded judgement by addiction, feeling helpless
starving with endless hunger, no breaking dawn
Entrapped and enslaved in satan's sinfull chains
numb and deaf to feelings of atonement or regret
Dragged along, spoils of evil's war, filled with pains
innocent life stolen, err in judgement with disrespect
