The Ways of the World

Living in a world of darkness,
a world that's so sickening.
People living life their own way,
lifestyles for the picking.

"Searching for our true selves,"
how they'll live in society.
I don't know about you,
but my life's for Christ Almighty.

The ways of the world,
is what you live by.
The ways of the world,
you will surely die.

Man sleeping with man,
homosexuality.
Woman with woman,
is this the way it's meant to be?

They're swimming in their wealth,
they dive into their greed.
"Money can buy anything that I want,"
that's what they don't heed.

I can't, I don't,
no way, I won't,
live my life this way.
The ways of the world,
leads me to my grave.

Gloves on and ready to fight,
walking to the boxing ring.
Arise from our corners,
left right left, feel the sting.

The world puts up their fists,
telling us everything's a okay.
"You live life how you want to,
and we'll live life our own way."

The ways of the world,
is what you live by.
The ways of the world,
you will surely die.

"One life you have to live,"
so that's what has been said.
Living in a world so liberal,
so blind, a world that's dead.

The people of the earth,
you all soon will pay.
Turn from unclean ways,
do it now, today's the day.
