Temptation Lyrics

I’ve never been closer
I’ve tried to understand
That certain feeling
Carved by another’s hand
But it’s too late to hesitate
We can’t keep on living like this
Leave no track
Don’t look back

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It’s just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you’d better believe it

You’ve got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let’s head for home now
Everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day
Every second counts I can’t break away
Leave no trace
Hide your face

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It’s just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you’d better believe it

Keep us from temptation
Lead us not into temptation

Trying to find it
Temptation
You’ve got to get up behind it
Temptation
Put your dime in the hot slot
Temptation
But it’s a million to one shot
Temptation
You think that you’re right no
Temptation
You’re going to fake it tonight now
Temptation
Give me a breakdown
Temptation
Because it’s time for a shakedown

the cradle of filth cover is brilliant and i think this version is shit

I think your ears are broken. But we'll see, if in 20 years people still listen to and cover the cradle version, it might be considered 'as good'.

There are elements of the cover that I enjoy as metal gives it a different kind of energy, and I love the female singer they got because of how gritty & aggressive yet sexy the way she sings it is, but otherwise I can't agree. I understand how one might simply not enjoy that New Wave-y 80's sound, but I think it's still the better-constructed version. Plus I can't stand how stereotypically goth Dani Filth's "singing" is. (And this is coming from a Manson fan.)

In any case it's totally subjective. I got sick of this kind of...
