Temptation

Covetousness
A malevolent temptress
So acquisitive and avaricious
An unavoidable desire

Would one leave heaven due to desire?
Repetition, repetition "It's still not enough"
Reach down and read between the lines
"I'm still not enough"

So, while wrapped around her figure
While gazing into her eyes
Look in a mirror once in a while
And see just how many times history repeats itself...
