Judas Iscariot

They asked: “Why did you seal His death with a kiss? What did He ever do to you?” “Well the truth is, is that I was sent To make sure Master did what He was supposed to do I made sure that He would save the world Through the Crucifixion, through His blood It broke my heart to see him die in pain If I could’ve saved Him, believe me I would” They then asked: “But you sold Him for thirty pieces. Shouldn’t the King be worth more? But I laughed and said, “Ah ha you’re wrong For I threw the thirty pieces on the floor The Master was ‘betrayed’ for free I could not put a price on His head I could not bear the thought of knowing My Teacher would soon be dead” The last question they asked was: “Do you think you’ll go to Heaven after what you’ve done?” I thought for a while and answered, “I hope so For I was God’s chosen one.” They smiled as they departed I prayed they finally understood me And guilt finally devoured my soul And I hung myself on a tree
