Lyrics

Tempter

Midway between happiness and sadness
Boiling but never overflowing
Falls to only make a better come back
More powerful and poignant and falls again

Midway between happiness and sadness
Boiling but never overflowing
Falls to only make a better come back
More powerful and poignant and falls again
Destructive lust for life erected
On the verge, pricked up like a picket
Fearing to respond to the tempting but
Malevolent call of the other side

Midway between happiness and sadness
Boiling but never overflowing

Destructive lust for life erected
On the verge, pricked up like a picket
Fearing to respond to the tempting but
Malevolent call of the other side

Midway between happiness and sadness
Midway between happiness and sadness
Midway between happiness and sadness
Malevolent call of the other side
