Shouldn't Be

How do you say words that shouldn't be spoken?
When a heart would speak its piece,
Yet that word would rend and leave broken

How do you do things that shouldn't be done?
When a hand would go to action rash,
And put all kind feelings on the run

How do you be something that shouldn't have been?
When a man would take the world's course,
To the shadows of the devil's glen

How do you choose a choice that shouldn't be chosen?
Only by mistake or folly, transgression or sin,
Only by choosing to let Lucifer win
