Judas' Death

My God I saw him
He looked three quarters dead
And he was so bad I had to turn my head
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame
And I know who everybody's gonna blame
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good
I'd save him all his suffering if I could
And I acted for our good
And I'd save him if I could

Cut the confessions
Forget the excuses
I don't understand
Why you're filled with remorse
All that you've said
Has come true with a vengeance
The mob turned against him
You backed the right horse

What you have done
Will be the saving of Israel
You'll be remembered
Forever for this
And not only that
You've been paid for your efforts
Pretty good wages for one little kiss

Christ, I know you can't hear me
But I only did what you wanted me to
Christ, I'd sell out the nation
For I have been saddled with the murder of you
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the
Slime and the, slime and the mud

I don't know how to love him
I don't know why he moves me
He's a man
He's just a man
He is not a king
He's just the same as anyone I know
He scares me so

When he's cold and dead
Will he let me be?
Does he love
Does he love me too?
Does he care for me?
Oh!

Ah, ah, ah
My mind is in darkness now
My God
I am sick
I've been used
And you knew all the time
God!
I'll never, ever know
Why you chose me
For your crime
Your foul bloody crime

You have murdered me!
You have murdered me, murdered me, murdered me, murdered me!

So long Judas
Poor old Judas
So long Judas
Poor old Judas
So long Judas
Poor old Judas
