Eve

I ate from the tree of Eden
From the tree that is forbidden
I bit from the core of evil
I tasted sin that had been hidden

I ate from the tree of Eden
From the tree of right and wrong
I feel the power that it comes with
This is where I belong

I ate from the tree of Eden
From the tree of life and death
I swallowed down the apple
I could taste it on my breath

I ate from the tree of Eden
The devils home away from hell
I ate from the tree of Eden
Cause its human nature to rebel

Creatures born of freewill, true it is our nature to rebel. Excellent write I enjoyed the repeating line at the beginning of each stanza.
