Trial Before Pilate

And so the king
Is once again my guest
And why is this
Was Herod unimpressed

We turn to Rome
To sentence Nazareth
We have no law
To put a man to death

We need him crucified
It's all you have to do
We need him crucified
It's all you have to do

Talk to me Jesus Christ
You've been brought here
Manacled, beaten by your own people
Do you have the first idea
Why you deserve it

Listen king of the Jews
Where is your kingdom
Look at me
Am I a Jew

I have got no kingdom in this world
I'm through, through, through

Talk to me Jesus Christ

There may be a kingdom for me somewhere if I only knew

Then you're a king?

It's you that say I am
I look for truth
And find that I get damned

But what is truth
Not easy to define
We both have truths
Are your's the same as mine

Crucify him, crucify him

What do you mean
You'd crucify your king

We have no king but Caesar!

He's done no wrong
No not the slightest thing

We have no king but Caesar
Crucify him

Well this is new, respect for Caesar.
Till now this has been noticeably lacking
Who is this Jesus
Why is he different

I see no reason - I find no evil
This man is harmless so why does he upset you?
He's just misguided - thinks he's important
But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him

You Jews produce messiahs by the sackful

We need him crucified
It's all you have to do
We need him crucified
It's all you have to do

Talk to me Jesus Christ

Look at your Jesus Christ
I'll agree he's mad
Ought to be locked up
But that is not a reason to destroy him

He's a sad little man
Not a King or God
Not a thief, I need a crime

Kill him, he says he's God
He's a blasphemer
He'll conquer you
And us and even Caesar

Crucify him, crucify him
Behold the man
Behold your shattered King

We have no King but Caesar

You hypocrites
You hate us more than him

We have no King but Caesar
Crucify him

I see no reason
I see no evil
This man is harmless
So why does he upset you

He's just misguided
Thinks he's important
But to keep you vultures happy
I shall flog him

Crucify him
Crucify him
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Crucify him
Crucify him
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Crucify him
Crucify him
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

Where are you from Jesus
What do you want Jesus
Tell me
You've got to be careful
You could be dead soon
Could well be

Why do you not speak
When I have your life in my hands
How can you stay quiet
I don't believe you understand

You have nothing in your hands
Any power you have
Comes to you from far beyond
Everything is fixed
And you can't change it

You're a fool Jesus Christ
How can I help you

Pilate, crucify him, crucify him

Remember Caesar
You have a duty
To keep the peace
So crucify him
Remember Caesar
You'll be demoted
You'll be deported
Crucify him

Remember Caesar
You have a duty
To keep the peace
So crucify him
Remember Caesar
You'll be demoted
You'll be deported
Crucify him

Remember Caesar
You have a duty
To keep the peace
So crucify him
Remember Caesar
You'll be demoted
You'll be deported
Crucify him

Don't let me stop
Your great self-destruction
Die if you want to
You misguided martyr
I wash my hands
Of your demolition
Die if you want to you
Innocent puppet
