La Avaricia

It's the greed that lurks without rest
The malice that seeks its own to exploit
With the intention to hoard and displace
Until it achieves its goal to embrace
Greed is wicked, malicious
Always coming disguised with falsehood
Unbalanced emotions
Dressed in favor and friendship, all made up
It snatches the life of those who possess it
The greedy gets upset when you read it
You suck it dry, it gives you nothing good
Look it up in Proverbs if you don't believe me
Programmed for evil like I, Robot
Using the saying: "Long live the clever over the fool"
With the intention to sink its teeth in like a wolf
And if you don't give in, it whispers like a fool

If you saw it, it disguises itself as friendship
Watch out for it, 'cause it has no truth
It's treacherous, doesn't live in reality
And if you fall asleep, it runs you over
It's vain, its attitude is dangerous
It's capricious, has a beautiful voice
It's greedy, sweet lips and a liar
And if you fall asleep, it destroys you

It doesn't walk alone, it comes with company
It comes with envy, greed, and a damaged mind
Steps in its favor 'cause it's cauterized
Its attitude is wicked and condemned
The greedy hides envy
And a piece of advice: Don't let it roam your territory
With subtlety it enters, and you don't even know how
And you realize when you're in the catastrophe
The greedy trusts no one, only himself
His friend envy tells him he's the best
Greed tells him to take what isn't his
With the intention to gain power
Runs hastily towards evil
Believes in profit, not in equality
Lacks nobility and kindness
Maintaining a false sincerity

If you saw it, it disguises itself as friendship
Watch out for it, 'cause it has no truth
It's treacherous, doesn't live in reality
And if you fall asleep, it runs you over
It's vain, its attitude is dangerous
It's capricious, has a beautiful voice
It's greedy, sweet lips and a liar
And if you fall asleep, it destroys you

While the righteous always through the narrow
Lights his wick
And sure in his harvest
Receives the good, discards the bad
And is faithful, doesn't take advantage of the weak
Walks among them, but not mixed up
With a slow step, but in Christ, he's quickened
And carefully, watching the wolf dressed as a sheep
Draws his sword, cuts the suit, and notices the ear
And the sleeves
'Cause he walks through the mud but doesn't get stuck
'Cause he walks with Christ in his stride
Doesn't say what suits him, says what He commands
And always sees what the wicked hides up their sleeve
Like the light of dawn, it increases
Wants the blessing but first what's inside
Isn't resentful, has a willing heart
Looking at the eternal, not the moment

If you saw it, it disguises itself as friendship
Watch out for it, 'cause it has no truth
It's treacherous, doesn't live in reality
And if you fall asleep, it runs you over
It's vain, its attitude is dangerous
It's capricious, has a beautiful voice
It's greedy, sweet lips and a liar
And if you fall asleep, it destroys you
