Judas' death.

JUDASMy God! I saw him – he looked three-quarters dead!And he was so bad I had to turn my headYou beat him so hard that he was bent and lameAnd I know who everybody's gonna blameI don't believe he knows I acted for our goodI'd save him all this suffering if I couldDon't believe ... our good ... save him ... if I couldPRIEST 3Cut the confessions forget the excusesI don't understand why you're filled with remorseAll that you've said has come true with a vengeanceThe mob turned against him – you backed the right horseCAIAPHASWhat you have done will be the saving of IsraelYou'll be remembered forever for thisAnd not only that you've been paid for your effortsPretty good wages for one little kissJUDASChrist! I know you can't hear meBut I only did what you wanted me toChrist! I'd sell out the nationFor I have been saddled with the murder of youI have been spattered with innocent bloodI shall be dragged through the slime and the mudI have been spattered with innocent bloodI shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!I don't know how to love him.I don't know why he moves meHe's a man – he's just a manHe's not a king – he's just the sameAs anyone I knowHe scares me soWhen 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 usedAnd you knew all the timeGod! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crimeFor your foul bloody crimeYou have murdered me! You have murdered me!CHOIRPoor old JudasSo long Judas
