The Songs of Pontius Pilate

Let pontious Pilate play
His two toothed song for you and I
Barabas the thief shall stay
And Jesus we will chose to die

The messiah has been no option
Bad has been chosen over good
Long on the path of corruption
On this faulty ground we've stood

How many perished in Gomorrah
Only God could account
How many entered the ark of Noah
My little fingers could count

Jezebel rather be renamed a virgin
For Mary to be called a harlot
Christ is a man full of sin
Righteousness we seek in a devil's hut

Blinded of truth beneath the sun
How on us the devils took turns
Who made us sing for joy
Here by the river side of Babylon
