Murray Head, Victor Brox, Choir Judas's 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 bad 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
[ANNAS]
Cut the confessions forget the excuses
I don't understand why you're feeled with remorse
All that you said has come true with a vengeance
The mob turn 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 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, does he love me too?
Does he care for me?

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, never know, why you chose me for your crime
Your foul b_____ crime
You have murder me!
You have murder me!
[CHOIR]
Poor old Judas
So long Judas
