Greed is wicked, maliciousA avaricia es malvada, malintencionada
Always coming disguised with falsehoodQue siempre viene disfrazada con falsedad

It snatches the life of those who possess itElla arrebata la vida del que la posee
The greedy gets upset when you read itEl avaro se molesta cuando tu lo lees
You suck it dry, it gives you nothing goodTu succiona, nada bueno te provee
Look it up in Proverbs if you don't believe meBúscalo en proverbios si tu no me crees
Programmed for evil like I, RobotProgramado de maldad como I robot
Using the saying: "Long live the clever over the fool"Usando el refrán: "que viva el listo del bobo"
With the intention to sink its teeth in like a wolfCon la intención de pegarte el diente como el lobo
And if you don't give in, it whispers like a foolY si no accedes a ella murmuras como pobo

If you saw it, it disguises itself as friendshipSi tu la vieras, se disfraza de amistad
Watch out for it, 'cause it has no truthCuídate de ella, porque no tiene verdad

It's vain, its attitude is dangerousEs vanidosa, su actitud es peligrosa
It's capricious, has a beautiful voiceEs caprichosa, tiene una voz hermosa
It's greedy, sweet lips and a liarEs codiciosa, labios dulces y mentirosa
And if you fall asleep, it destroys youY si te duermes te destroza

Its attitude is wicked and condemnedSu actitud es malvada y reprobada
The greedy hides envyEl avaro la envidia esconde
And a piece of advice: Don't let it roam your territoryY un consejo: No dejes que tu territorio ronde
With subtlety it enters, and you don't even know howCon sutileza entra y no se sabe ni por donde
And you realize when you're in the catastropheY te das cuenta, cuando estás en la hecatombe
The greedy trusts no one, only himselfEl avaro no confía en nadie, solamente en el
His friend envy tells him he's the bestSu amiga la envidia que el mejor es el

While the righteous always through the narrowMientras el justo siempre por la estrecha
Lights his wickEnciende su mecha
And sure in his harvestY seguro en su cosecha
Receives the good, discards the badRecibe lo bueno, lo malo lo desecha
And is faithful, doesn't take advantage of the weakY es fiel, y del débil no se aprovecha
Walks among them, but not mixed upAnda entre ellos, pero no revolcao
With a slow step, but in Christ, he's quickenedCon paso lento, pero en cristo acelerao
And carefully, watching the wolf dressed as a sheepY con cuidado, velando el lobo vestio de oveja
Draws his sword, cuts the suit, and notices the earSaca su espada, raja el traje y le nota la oreja
And the sleevesY los manga
'Cause he walks through the mud but doesn't get stuckPorque pasa por el lodo pero no se enfanga
'Cause he walks with Christ in his stridePorque anda con cristo en su langa
Doesn't say what suits him, says what He commandsNo dice lo que conviene dice lo que el manda
And always sees what the wicked hides up their sleeveY siempre ve lo que el malo trae bajo la manga
Like the light of dawn, it increasesComo la luz de la aurora va en aumento
Wants the blessing but first what's insideQuiere la bendición pero primero es lo de adentro
Isn't resentful, has a willing heartNo es rencoroso tiene un corazón dispuesto
Looking at the eternal, not the momentMirando lo eterno y no el momento

If you saw it, it disguises itself as friendshipSi tu la vieras, se disfraza de amistad
Watch out for it, 'cause it has no truthCuídate de ella, porque no tiene verdad

It's capricious, has a beautiful voiceEs caprichosa, tiene una voz hermosa
It's greedy, sweet lips and a liarEs codiciosa, labios dulces y mentirosa
And if you fall asleep, it destroys youY si te duermes te destroza
