The missing words in this flat are anagrams. The first is a two-word phrase, the second a single word.

If you trample on others to grow your
   net worth,
Are you running to reach the right
   goal?
It profits you nothing to gain the
   whole earth
If it means that you're losing your
   soul.

Turn around! Turn around! It is never
   too late.
Leave that path where you vie with
   the vermin.
Flee the _ _ _   _ _ _ _ ,   _ _ _ _ _ _ _
   your steps
'Til you're back on the straight and narrow.
Thus endeth my sermon.
