Trial Before Pilate (Including The 39 Lashes)

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 have 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
(Come 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? Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths, are mine the same as yours?

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!

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 hold 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
