The implications of and responses to temptation. View this dynamic in a condensed scenario and "choose your own adventure."
lyrics
I hear him whisper, it's all to familiar
All too chameleon how it blends in the picture
Of sincerity and goodness while it tempts me to sip of its elixir of aromatic mixture
Power of suggestion, doubt and fear induced
Introduce the dynamic of a flesh and Spirit truce
Senses come alive, now allowed to drive
And choice becomes mirage- you take a dive
Gettin on my flight, head low with my headphones on
This attractive lady now sits on my right
Now my wedding ring has this gleam that I ain't ever seen
Her glance becomes a chance I can take or leave
I can take my leave, from everything that I believe
I can just be single for the night, maybe mingle for the flight...see where things lead
You see where things lead...
Seduction, intoxication-skews the view of the scenario
See you can choose the outcome
You can choose to pray or be prey for the falcon
You should choose today
Which one you will serve
Witch hunts aren't the goal, look we all got our faces
But one day we gon face Him
In the case for our soul
But He took on temptations, and took on what we couldn't
We are not good, we're relying on His goodness
Hook:
I'm asking myself should I stay or should I leave
But I know that if I stay I might let temptation get the best of me, temptation get the best of me
You only live once is what they keep on telling me
But by His strength I refuse to let temptation get the best of me, temptation get the best of me

Beauty and the Beast at the very beginning of the track, then a Christ-integrated message to top it all off. Nostalgic and Beautiful. To add more to the pie, the song and what it relates to is perfectly fitting for the theme of beauty in the midst of beastliness. It's just dope.
Thank God for this song. Donovan Lewis
