Slow Fade

As pessoas não se destroem do dia pra noite.

Pouco a pouco, seus conceitos vão se desvanecendo à medida que buscam prazer no sexo, no álcool, nas drogas, nos pensamentos viciosos, nos jogos de azar.

Só esta vez, vou experimentar - pensam.

E, no dia seguinte, só mais esta vez...

Até que descobrem, mais tarde, que é impossível sair do buraco em que se colocaram, até que seja tarde demais...

Somos presas fáceis nas mãos de um inimigo sutil e ardiloso, cruel, que espera e não tem pressa, até que nos prenda de tal maneira que quando despertarmos do erro, será tarde demais.

Somos destruídos, diariamente, pelos pensamentos que são colocados em nossas mentes que, com o tempo,  parecem nossos. Aceitamos os valores subvertidos, invertidos, como verdades irrefutáveis.

Pensando só no prazer momentâneo, nos enganando, pensamos curtir a vida, mas estamos, isto sim,  atados à morte.

Pensamentos errados, levam-nos a escolhas erradas, cujas consequências podem ser eternas.

As más conversações corrompem os bons costumes e, jamais, haverá comunhão entre a luz e as trevas.

Casting Crowns

Slow Fade

Be careful little eyes what you see

It's the second glance that ties your hands

As darkness pulls the strings.

Be careful little feet where you go

For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away

It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear

When flattering leads to compromises, the end is always near

Be careful little lips what you say

For empty words and promises leave broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away

It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands

Is shorter than you're thinking

Be careful if you think you stand

You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away

It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

Daddies never crumble in a day

Families never crumble in a day

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see

For the Father up above is looking down in love

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
