SINS OF THE FORBIDDEN TREE

[Intro – Low, almost whispering]

You knew the warning…
You heard His voice…
But you still reached.

(Heavy drum hits… heartbeat rhythm)

⸻

[Verse 1]

Perfect ground, untouched air
Holy presence everywhere
One command — simple, clear
But pride was louder than your fear

You wanted wisdom. You wanted throne.
Wanted power that wasn’t your own.
Bit the fruit like you were God
Now look at what your hunger caused

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Building tension)

Shame hit harder than the bite
Innocence died that night
Now the garden echoes screams
From the sins of the forbidden tree

⸻

Chorus (Choir chanting behind lead)

SINS OF THE FORBIDDEN TREE
Poison running through humanity
You chose the lie — now feel the cost
A crown of dust, a kingdom lost

SINS OF THE FORBIDDEN TREE
Bloodline marked by tragedy
We broke the world with one decree
When we defied eternity

(Choir chants: “You reached… You fell… You broke it all…”)

⸻

Verse 2 (More intense)

Fig leaves shaking on your skin
You tried to hide what lived within
But you can’t outrun the sound
Of holy footsteps on the ground

Sweat and thorns and cursed land
Death now resting in your hand
You wanted eyes that see like His
Now you see what darkness is

⸻

Bridge – Explosive Call & Response

Lead (angry, emotional):
Was it worth it?!

Choir (sharp):
NO!

Lead:
Was it freedom?!

Choir:
NO!

Lead:
What did it give you?!

Choir:
GRAVES! PAIN! SHAME!

(Drums hit harder)

Lead (lower, controlled fury):
From a tree we stole His right…
Choir (building power):
From a tree He chose to fight…

⸻

Final Chorus – War-like, aggressive worship

SINS OF THE FORBIDDEN TREE
Echo still in you and me
Every war and jealousy
Started in that tragedy

SINS OF THE FORBIDDEN TREE
But mercy carved a second tree
Nails went through what pride began
Love restored the fallen man

⸻

Outro – Heavy, slow, haunting

You wanted to be God…
But God became man.

And He bled…
Where you once disobeyed.

(Choir fades whispering: “Redeemed… redeemed…”)
