Highway to the grave
To the chambers of death

He has no sense following her to the slaughter
Seductive words led him astray
Breaking the covenant with his eyes,
drinking deeply of lust - seduced by smooth talk

Persuasive, O so persuasive
          she led him astray
                it will cost him his life

Many victims she has slaughtered
Unruly, defiant and brazen
In the dark of night she seeks out her prey

Highway to the grave
To the chambers of death

Seductive words never sounded so bitter,
knowing lust will cost him his life.

This is a warning.
Act on temptation drinking deeply of lust
It will cost you your life

Turn away from the
        Highway to the grave
        From the chamber of death

Keep the covenant with your eyes
Fortify your heart
Keep His commands and you will live.
From Proverbs 7 (NIV)
