Forbidden Fruit Lyrics

(Right speaker)
Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming
Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming
(at the same time)
(Left speaker)
He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware, He is coming sinners beware
(Both)
The bitter taste of rotten fruit is vomit in the mouth
The taste is sour and is spit upon the ground
And left to rot, decay and spoil
Rotten apple forbidden fruit
Rotten apple forbidden fruit

REPENT!!
REPENT!!

Watch the insects eat the rotten apples on the ground
Watch the insects eat the rotten apples on the ground
Watch the insects eat the rotten apples on the ground
Watch the insects eat the rotten apples on the GROUND

REPENT!!
REPENT!!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is pretty odd in it's own right, being (to my knowledge) unreleased, and reletivley unknown. I just find it interesting that the bit about Jesus' return is heard from the right speaker, perhaps symbolic of right-handed religion such as Christianity. The overall tone of the song is absolutley horrific and paniced, so i get the feeling that he's speaking of how said right handed religions focus on faith through scare tactics. Repent for your sins or suffer for them.

This song is pretty self explanitory, but it's actually pretty good...the repent screaming comes out of nowhere from this hollow sounding tune, to blaring guitars...it's great...not sure when it was written, though...

Bad News, this isn't even a Manson song. It's not even called forbidden fruit. it's rotten apples by a Christian death Metal band called rackets and drapes. It does sound very much like Manson though. This Sucks...
