Sinful Nature

Originally a song from a musical I have written, Think it stands up as a poem though? (8?/

 

 

Allow me to introduce myself

 

 

 

        I'm the callous on your heart

 

 

 

        I'm every evil desire you have

 

 

 

        I'm gonna tear your little soul apart.

 

 

 

        I'm every evil thought you think

 

 

 

        I'm the depths to which you are willing to sink.

 

 

 

        I am

 

 

 

        I am

 

 

 

        Your sinful nature

 

 

 

And every time you tell a lie

 

 

 

I am right there by your side

 

 

 

And when someone tries to tell you the truth

 

 

 

I am that urge to run and hide

 

 

 

I am the fear in the back of your mind

 

 

 

I am that secret sin you hope no one will find

 

 

 

I am,

 

 

 

I am,

 

 

 

Your sinful nature

 

 

 

And if you think I'm not around

Or that my words you've never spoken

Then I am yours and you are mine

And your heart I will turn to stone It will never be broken.

 

 

 

Allow me to present to you

 

 

 

My many qualifications

 

 

 

I've been leading people astray

 

 

 

Through all time and in all nations

 

 

 

I can lie in Cantonese,

 

 

 

French or German and English with ease

 

 

 

I am,

 

 

 

I am,

 

 

 

Your sinful nature

 

 

 

 

 

 

And though you see me here today

 

 

1        am very rarely seen

 

 

But even when you don't know I'm around

 

 

You can always tell where I've been

 

 

Where there is arrogance envy and sleaze

 

 

Pride dissensions and things like these

 

 

I        am,

 

 

I        am,

 

 

Your sinful nature.
