Deuteronomium - Soul Sickness lyrics

Why does not my soul foresee; beware, suspect and be aware of sin Like my body bewares of sickness? On every path there's a sneaking snake A hidden temptation in every vocation Yet I walk, run and fly to these Paths of temptations I could flee Burgle a house of raging plague Far too far I test my fate -I entice the Devil himself Sin makes me sick (sin makes me sick) binds me to bed Makes me decayed (sin makes me sick) buried and dead I never had a conception of my disease O greatness and depth of this wretched misery Where the first symptom of sickness is hell Where the fever of lust, pride and envy Never rang a bell Where the first messenger speaking to me Does not utter "You might die" Neither he says "You must die" Harshly he states "You have died" Sin makes me sick (sin makes me sick) binds me to bed Makes me decayed (sin makes me sick) buried and dead There, my soul first becomes aware of The irrevocability and incurability of my sickness And yet, my God, I cannot accuse you For you've placed an alerting artery into my soul The voice of conscience which I extinguish I speak, I drink and I sleep until it's defeat Sin makes me sick (sin makes me sick) binds me to bed Makes me decayed (sin makes me sick) buried and dead I am the prodigal son, my share was not denied I got my heritage, wasted and threw it away But you, my God, have taken me back again and again; paid for my sins With the life of your Son; for the wages of sin is d**h Is the end of sickness
