What is so sweet?

Falling into sin of the world...
What is so sweet that the entire world would crumble at its feet?
Is the fragrance of the world so lovely to be devoured by it?
It is a twisted wish of happiness that eludes us,
Drawing away the young and precious into a life of lies.
When people vanish and conformity takes root
Our world will slowly slip away into that of a nomadic tribe,
Unable to comprehend what is truth and what is false.
