“Temptations”
Revelations, Album No. 6, 2024

(Verse 1)
The night wears heavy, the air is thick,
A whispered promise, a cruel, sweet trick.
The shadows dance on the edge of the flame,
Familiar faces, but never the same.
The wine spills like blood, staining my hands,
I’m tethered to nothing, but here I stand.

​

(Pre-Chorus)
The pulse in my veins, it knows the song,
A rhythm of weakness, I’ve followed too long.

​

(Chorus)
The wine, the women, the way you sin,
The heat, the drum, the need within.
The push, the pull, the bedroom din,
The temptations of body, restraint wearing thin.
Down on my knees, letting you in,
An old solution, absolution begins.

​

(Verse 2)
Your touch is a prayer, a curse, a plea,
The lines we draw blur so easily.
The closer you get, the farther I fall,
A prisoner to you, to it, to it all.
Your lips taste of danger, of fire, of night,
A fleeting salvation wrapped in delight.

​

(Pre-Chorus)
The pulse in my veins, it drowns the cry,
I can’t run from the need, no matter how I try.

​

(Chorus)
The wine, the women, the way you sin,
The heat, the drum, the need within.
The push, the pull, the bedroom din,
The temptations of body, restraint wearing thin.
Down on my knees, letting you in,
An old solution, absolution begins.

​

(Bridge)
And when the morning breaks the spell,
I’m left in the ruins, the stories I’ll never tell.
The sheets hold secrets, the mirror lies,
But the hunger lingers, it never dies.
I chase the ghosts, the thrill, the rush,
But the cost is too high for a fleeting touch.

​

(Chorus)
The wine, the women, the way you sin,
The heat, the drum, the need within.
The push, the pull, the bedroom din,
The temptations of body, restraint wearing thin.
Down on my knees, letting you in,
An old solution, absolution begins.

​

(Outro)
The fire consumes, the ashes remain,
A cycle of passion, of pleasure, of pain.
I fall, I rise, I do it again,
The endless dance of temptations and sin.
Letting you in, absolution begins...
Letting you in, absolution begins.
