Why do I do all of the things I shouldn't do

Why do I stumble when I'm somewhere close to you

If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through

I will face judgment in the moment of truth


I been out in the valley I been running the roads

I been biding my time, with the things in life, that you should never know

And I know all this folly, is gonna catch up with me

Cause I been numbing my wits, giving out Judas' kiss, in the blistering cold


Why do I do all of the things I shouldn't do

Why do I stumble when I'm somewhere close to you

If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through

I will face judgment in the moment of truth


I have not been patient I have not been kind

I been up serving my flesh, to those who deserve the best, but only tasted my crime


If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through

I will face judgment in the moment of truth


Why do I do all of the things I shouldn't do

Why do I stumble when I'm somewhere close to you

If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through

I will face judgment in the moment of truth
