Enticing lure
Seducer's varying forms
The obvious
Hatred, gluttony, porn

Subversive distractions
Erode away
My sensitivities
Wide-spread self-destruction

As the world
It eats me alive
I decompose
Yet praise Your name

Put off
My old self
Corrupt deceitful desires
Renewed mind

Falsehoods fall
As truth prevails
My anger reined in
Foothold crumbles beneath

As the world
It eats me alive
I decompose
Yet praise Your name

As the world
It eats me alive
I decompose
Yet praise Your name

Build up
Christ's body
The holy Church
Spirit of God

Leave behind
My wayward past
As a man
Bent on noble ambition

As the world
It eats me alive
I decompose
Yet praise Your name
