[Verse 1]
Midnight fell on Jerusalem,
Moonlight kissin’ the stone.
A king walked out on his rooftop,
But he should’ve been out with his own.
Saw her bathe like a vision,
Skin like a flame in the dark—
And right then, I forgot God,
And followed the fire in my heart.
⸻
[Verse 2]
She was the wife of a soldier,
A good man fightin’ my war.
But I sent for her anyway,
Let my shadow darken her door.
Desire don’t knock—it breaks in,
Steals your soul piece by piece—
I took what wasn’t mine, Lord,
And I couldn’t find no peace.
⸻
[Chorus]
Oh, lust it don’t whisper,
It roars like a lion in chains.
And once you feed it,
You’ll never walk the same.
I had a crown, I had a kingdom,
But it all fell apart—
One glance, one night,
Now I’m runnin’ from God’s heart.
⸻
[Verse 3]
I tried to cover my tracks,
Brought her husband back home.
Told him to lie with his woman,
But that man stood alone.
So I wrote his death with ink and pride,
Sealed it with royal art—
Signed away a good man’s life,
To quiet my guilty heart.
⸻
[Bridge]
Prophet came knockin’ on my door,
Told a story ‘bout a stolen lamb.
Said, “You are the man, David,”
And I knew just who I am.
I tore my robes, fell on the floor,
Wept with a shattered soul—
‘Cause lust can take your kingdom,
And leave you broken and cold.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Oh, lust it don’t whisper,
It roars like thunder through veins.
And once you chase it,
You’ll be shackled in shame.
I had the songs, I had the favor,
But I let sin in my heart—
Now I live with the sorrow
Of runnin’ from God’s heart.
⸻
[Outro Spoken/Whispered]
One night on a rooftop…
And a lifetime to repent.
