Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack Judas` Death Lyrics

Judas` Death Lyrics

(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

 Going to blame

 I don't believe he knows

 I acted for our good

 I'd save him all the suffering

 If I could

 Don't believe

 Our good

 Save him

 If I could 

 

 (Priest) 

 

 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 vengence

 The mob has turned against him

 You've 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 should be dragged 

 Through the slime and the mud

 I have been spattered

 With innocent blood

 I should 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?

 Ohhhhh... 

 

 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! 

 

 (So long, Judas

 Poor old Judas)
