Lust and Promise

1. Behold the demon tempting,
skin of steel and diamond eyes enticing
Superficial beauty which only
attracts your most basic of desires
Here the heart and soul go wanting
as the empty shell retires

Refrain:

Lust and promise
Money and wealth
Higher conscience withhold
Every corner,
Former person,
Anti-spirit mold

2. No more to love this former starlet
who left goodness behind
Dismantling the entire apparatus
of needed humanity
To repeat an action with a diff'rent intention,
is insanity

(refrain, solo)

3. I call crimes against humanity
for the actions you choose to endorse
In the future society
your deception will cease to live
Profit and takers will fall from you
as water from a sieve

I guess all beauty is superficial, but so is ugliness.

These are solid lyrics. I really like the following line: "skin of steel and diamond eyes enticing".
