In Need of Escape

Sin corrupts human souls.
Evil controls human minds.
We need escape.

Tragic consequences befall those who wander.
Lack of purpose invites evil forces.
We need escape.

Mere humans cannot fight this overarching enemy.
Set aside greedy lust in the pursuit of absolute power
And one will have the ultimate escape!
