Trilogy Of Knowledge lyrics

[S. Laird / K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters]



[INTRO: THE BIRTH]



[MOVEMENT I: THE LIE]



The fruit from the tree was so pleasing to my eye

The serpent said that I would not die



The serpent shall be cursed, he will crawl about and eat dust

I will put enmity between the woman and you

Man will crush your head, you will strike his heel



The wisdom of the world will be mine if I eat

What can it hurt if I take it and eat?



I will greatly increase the woman's pain

When bearing children all of your days

You will desire man, he will rule over you



Take some, man, gain wisdom, too

Eat from the tree, it's what you must do



The land will be cursed because of man

Producing thorns to make him bleed

By your sweat you will live until death

Dust you are and to dust you will return



[Genesis 3:1]



[MOVEMENT II: THE TRUTH]



(Then Jesus was lead by the Spirit into

the desert to be tempted by the Devil.

After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he

was hungry. The Tempter came to him

and said...)



If you're the son of God

Tell these stones to become bread



Man does not live on bread

But by words from the mouth of God



If you're the son of God

Throw yourself to the ground, God will save you



But is written

Do not put your God to the test



All the world I give you

If you bow and worship me



Leave me now and worship

The Lord your God, serve Him only



When Satan left him there

The angels came to him

Temptation lost



[Matthew 4:1-11]



[MOVEMENT III: THE KEY]



Evil scheming, wicked violence

And such is the end of all with ill gotten gain



Hatred, rejection, mocking others

This takes the lives of those with ill gotten gain



Do not walk on paths of the wicked

They are the darkness and they don't understand



The path of the righteous first dawns, gleaming

Shining brighter 'till the full light of day



Do not offer body to sin

Offer yourselves to God as those brought to life



Therefore put on the armor of God

So when that day of evil comes, you can stand your ground



[Pr. 1:19, 4:14-19; Ro. 6:13; Ep. 6:13-14]
