Intro
C G A E



Verse 1
 E
Temptation's outside, knocking at my door
 G       A
(Knocking at my door, knocking at my door)
 E
I won the battle last night, but I'm still at war
 G        A
(Still at war, still at war)

I starve my flesh and feed my spirit with faith

(Feed my spirit with faith)
 E                                               G
Then raise hell till it's up at heaven's gates (Gates)

Chorus
 C
Temptation creeps into an idle mind
 A
Lack of purpose is the place, seeking pleasure resides
 E
And feels safe
(And gets its strength)
 C
Temptation loves fame, serves ego and pride
 A
Mama told me, "Two wrongs don't make no right"
 E
So I pray
(The temptation away)

Verse 2
 E
Temptation makes slaves out of lustful eyes
 G
(Out of lustful eyes)
 A                     E
It'll rob you of your happiness and pay you attention with
lies
(With lies, gon' pay attention)
 G           A           E
In that darkness, you'll find shame's not worth your time
 G
(It's not worth your time)
 A               E
Then appraise your sin for the cost of peace of mind
 G
(Oh, yeah)

Chorus

Bridge
 C
Down by the river dale
 A
In the garden where the snake tempted Adam and Eve
 E
They ate the fruit and from those seeds
Grew the roots of this family tree
 C
It's why we struggle, it's why we fight
 A
Our mother's nature, father time
 E
The human race, but fall behind
Dying to live, but all living to die
 C
For goodness' sake
 A
We've been atone for sins and given God's grace
 E
Stuck in this Babylonic world we can't escape
Going to war with demons every day
The soul and spirit break, that's why I pray

I starve my flesh and feed my spirit with faith

 C
And raise hell till it's up at heaven's gates (I raise hell)
I raise hell
(Down by the river dale)
 E                     G A E  G A E
Till it's up at heaven's gates
