Addiction is a cancer
A plague and destroyer from within
A common cold
Quickly to set in
Feeding on your light
Blood stained in the end
A life entangled in a noose
A soul chained to sin
Always waiting for an answer
To questions without end
Unable to understand
The unfaithfulness of a friend
Addiction is always calling
The spirit always pushed out
An ancient decision
A new way has been found
Addiction is planted
Seeds of wickedness sown
Evil spirits hidden in the drugs you use
The effects will grow unknown
An addict to be discovered
Will always arrive unawares
Will fall hard for the deception
Exciting fun was the snare
Once caught with a smile
The trap closes its grip
Now the game has changed
The addict put on the tip
The point of all confusion
A steady stream of lies
Unending sorrow
Flood of tears fill the eyes
Broken heart no surrender
No white flag in this sad song
Addiction is a journey
The way very long
Only to capture the moment
The day the lie is found out
Addiction can be destroyed
Call for Jesus with a shout
Scream for your savior
Yell for your soul is in doubt
Be plucked from your hell
For only Jesus is the way out
Salvation for all is now
For you the addict it is today
Ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life
Only then can you be saved
Be baptized in Jesus name
In the water you shall lay
Pray through to the Holy Spirit
His Fire will burn your addiction away
Praise His Holy Name daily
For praise will stand the test
In Christ Jesus there is no addiction
In Him the cure is His rest
Addiction in you no longer remains
In its place now you are blessed
Jesus is the cure
In Christ Jesus you are your very best!
