Judas Kiss

Thirty pieces of silver My soul condemn to hell Even in the presence of God One can feel left out Jesus how I love you My life I surrender for thee But something wasn't enough I needed more than even God could give Even God could give Envy? Jealous? Recognition One of twelve is never just one To Gethsemane garden I led the arm crowd And my sign was the kiss I will kiss my Lord to condemn Him "Greetings Rabbi" As I kissed the face of my Lord Judas kissed crucified God The weight of thirty pieces of silver Burdens the mind There is no repentance for such guilt Torture Return the blood money but it is refused Throw it down And the silver splatters Against the temple floor Like drops of blood Spewing from the cut throat Of the white white lamb The sound of silence deafens Nothing can hear your screams A rope and a tree And the earthly Judas ends Hanging into the bowels of hell Judas kissed Jesus For thirty pieces of silver And Judas kiss of betrayal Brought forth Salvation " Judas kissed Jesus and Jesus said to him Friend, do what you are here to do." I did what I was here to do Judas kiss.
