Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics
"Judas' 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 everybodys gonna blame
I dont believe he knows
I acted for our good
I'd save him all te suffering if I could
dont believe our good
save him if I could

PRIEST NO. 3
cut the confessions
forget the excuses
i dont understand why your
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
youll 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 cant 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 should be dragged thru the slime and the mud
i have been spattered with innocent blood
i should be dragged thru the slime and the slime and the slime and the mud
i dont know how to love him
i dont know why he moves me
hes a man
hes just a man
he not a king
hes just the same as anyone i know
he scares me so
when I'm cold and dead
will he let me be
does he love me
does he love me too
does he care for me(oh oh)
(ah ah ah)
my mind is in the darkness now
my God
i am sick
ive been used
and you knew all the time
God!
I'll never ever know
why you chose me
your crime
your foul bloody crime

CHOIR IN BACKROUND REPEATING
so long judas
poor old judas

JUDAS
you have murdered me X24
