I Will Not Be Tempted(Remastered)

# I WILL NOT BE TEMPTED [Intro – Upright Bass / Brushes / Hammond / Smoky Tenor Sax] [Jazz Hostess – Velvet Spoken-Sung] Step inside... No windows, no signs. Seven sins, seven games. Every prize, has a price. [Soft Laugh] Are you still having fun? [Low Sax Cry] --- [Verse 1 – Female Lead / Smoky Soul] Under dim, crooked lights, I walked that midway late at night. Velvet booths, glasses poured, every sin behind a door. The band leaned in, “Come take a spin.” But I’ve seen what waits, behind dressed-up sin. [Male – Soft Backing] Don’t buy in. [Female – Low, Firm] I know that price, I’m not going in. [Sax Bend] --- [Jazz Hostess] PRIDE. THE CROWN TOSS. [Female Lead] “Take the crown, put yourself first. Feed your pride, feed your thirst.” Mmm... Keep your crown, keep your throne. I know that game, I’m moving on. [Male Backing] Moving on. --- [Jazz Hostess] GREED. THE GOLDEN GRAB. [Female Lead] “Take the gold, take all you can.” But every dollar, closed another hand. Keep your gold, keep your gain. I’d rather walk free, than wear your chain. [Sax Run] [Jazz Hostess] Still having fun? --- [Chorus – Female Lead / Soul Lift] I WILL NOT BE TEMPTED, I know the price, behind the prize. I WILL NOT BE TEMPTED, I see that serpent, through the lights. Keep your glitter, keep your gold. Keep every lie, that you have sold. You can whisper, you can call. You can offer me it all... But I WON’T FALL. I WILL NOT BE TEMPTED. [Male – Smooth Response] Not today, Satan. [Female – Raspy Echo] Not today. [Dirty Sax Reply] --- [Jazz Hostess] ENVY. THE LOOKING GLASS. [Female Lead] “Look at them, now look at you. Don’t you want, what they have too?” That mirror lies, that glass ain’t truth. So break that frame, and leave that booth. [Sax Moan] --- [Jazz Hostess] WRATH. THE HAMMER OF FURY. [Female – Controlled Growl] “Think about, what they put you through. Swing it hard, make them hurt like you.” No... I won’t let anger, own my soul. Drop that hammer, let it go. [Male Backing] Let it go. --- [Jazz Hostess – Low] LUST. THE VELVET MIRROR. [Female – Smoky, Intimate] Velvet curtain, low red light. “One little look, won’t hurt tonight.” Pretty face, poisoned hook. I know that trap, I know that look. Turn away, don’t feed the flame. I won’t trade freedom, for one more chain. [Breathy Sax] --- [Jazz Hostess] GLUTTONY. THE BOTTOMLESS TABLE. [Female Lead] “Have another, pour some more.” Still that hunger, begs for more. Fill the glass, fill the plate. Still your soul, won’t feel complete. Push back the chair, find the door. I don’t need, one more. [Hammond Swell] --- [Jazz Hostess] SLOTH. THE ENDLESS CAROUSEL. [Female Lead] Round and round, another night. “Stay awhile, tomorrow’s fine.” But tomorrow came, and stole my time. So stop that ride, I’m stepping down. I’ve been asleep, but I’m awake now. [Sax Rise] --- [Interlude – Walking Bass / Hammond / Tenor Sax] [Jazz Hostess] Pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, sloth. Seven sins, seven games. Different rooms... Same old chains. [Soft Laugh] One more round? --- [Jazz Hostess – Rhythmic] One more look, one more drink. One more touch, don’t stop to think. One more lie, one more night. Keep it quiet, you’ll be alright. [Female – Soulful] I heard that before... [Jazz Hostess] One more sin... [Female – Growl] NO. [Band Cut] [Jazz Hostess] ARE YOU STILL HAVING FUN? [Long Falling Sax] --- [Bridge – Female Lead / Gospel-Soul Build] I know your games, I know your lies. I see the poison, through the lights. Pride gave crowns, greed gave chains. Envy stole joy, wrath fed pain. Lust sold pleasure, gluttony cried, “More.” Sloth kept spinning, while life passed the door. You promised freedom, you handed pain. But JESUS called me, out of the game. [Hammond Swell] He broke the darkness, He broke the night. I left that back room, and chose the light. [Male Backing] Chose the light. [Female – Held Note] I chose... the light. [Sax Cry] --- [Final Chorus – Female Lead / Full Soul Power] I WILL NOT BE TEMPTED! [Male Backing] Not today! [Female – Raspy / Defiant] PRIDE, KEEP YOUR CROWN! GREED, KEEP YOUR GOLD! ENVY, KEEP EVERY LIE, THAT YOU SOLD! WRATH, DROP THE HAMMER! LUST, LOSE YOUR DISGUISE! GLUTTONY, YOU WON’T SATISFY! SLOTH, STOP THAT CAROUSEL! I’M STEPPING OFF THE RIDE! THE CARNIVAL OF LIES, HAS NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE! You can offer me it all... I DON’T WANT IT AT ALL! [Female – Soul Run] No, no, no... I WILL NOT BE TEMPTED! [Male – Firm] Not today, Satan. [Female – Smoky Growl] Not, today. I WILL NOT BE TEMPTED! [Wild Tenor Sax Solo / Hammond / Handclaps] ---
