So if you are the Christ yes the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread–you can do it on your head
Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
C’mon King of the Jews
Hey! Aren’t you scared of me Christ? Mr Wonderful Christ!
You’re a joke you’re not a Lord–you are nothing but a fraud
Take him away — he’s got nothing to say!
Get out you King of the Jews! Get out of my life!
JUDA’S DEATH
JUDAS
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 this suffering if I could
Don’t believe….our good…save him…if I could
PRIEST 3
Cut the confession 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
CAIAPHAS
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
JUDAS
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 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’s 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 me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is 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
For your foul bloody crime
You have murdered me! You have murdered me!
