'till this morning

is this evening

life is fine.

Always hoped that

I'd be an apostle.

knew that I would

make it if I tried.

Then when we retire

we can write the gospels.

So they'll all talk about us

when we've died.

You sad pathetic man

see where you've brought us to.

Our ideals die around us

all because of you.

the saddest cut of all

someone has to turn you in.

Like a common criminal

like a wounded animal.

A jaded mandarin

a jaded mandarin.

like a jaded, jaded, faded,

jaded mandarin.

Get out, they're waiting

get out.

They're waiting for you.

Every time I look at you

I don't understand.

Why you let the things you did

get so out of hand.

You'd have managed better

if... if you'd had it planned,

oh-oh, oh-oh.

Look at all my trials

and tribulations.

Sinking in a gentle

pool of wine.

Don't disturb me now

I can see the answers.

'till this evening

is this morning

life is fine.

Always hoped that

I'd be an apostle.

knew that I would

make it if I tried.

Then when we retire

we can write the gospels.

So they'll still talk about us

when we've died.

Will no one stay awake with me

Peter, John, James.

Will none of you wait with me

peter, John, James.

I only want to say

if there is a way.

Take this cup away from me

for I don't want to

taste its poison

feel it burn me.

I have changed

I'm not as sure

as when we started.

Then I was inspired

now I'm sad and tired.

Listen surely

I've exceeded

expectations.

Tried for three years

seems like 30.

Could you ask as much

from any other man.

But if I die

see the saga through.

And do the things

you'd ask of me.

Let them hate me

hit me hurt me

nail me to their tree.

I'd wanna know

I'd wanna know my God.

I'd wanna know

I'd wanna know my God.

I'd wanna see

I'd wanna see my God.

I'd wanna see

I'd wanna see my God.

Why I should die

would I be more noticed

than I ever was before.

Would the things

I've said and done

matter any more.

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord.

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord.

I'd have to see

I'd have to see my Lord.

I'd have to see

I'd have to see my Lord.

If I die

what will be my reward.

If I die

what would be my reward.

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord.

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord.

Why should I die

oh-oh.

why should I die.

Can you show me now

that I would not be

killed in vain.

Show me just a little

of your omnipresent brain.

Show me there's a reason

for you wanting me to die.

You're far to keen

on where and how

and not so hot on why.

Alright I'll die

just watch me die.

See how I die

see how I die.

oh, watch me die.

Oh, oh

watch me die.

Then I was inspired

now I'm sad and tired.

After all

I've tried for three years

seems like 90.

Why then am I

scared to finish

what I started.

What you started

I didn't start it.

God thy will be done

destroy your only son.

I will drink

your cup of poison.

Nail me to your

cross and break me.

Bleed me beat me

kill me take me.

Now before I change my mind

now before I change my mind.

There he is

they're all asleep

the fools.

Judas must you betray me

with a kiss.

What the buzz

tell me what's a happening?

Tell me what's happening?

Ah...

What's the buzz

tell me what's happening?

What's the buzz

tell me what's happening?

What's the buzz

tell me what's happening.

What's the buzz

tell me what's happening?

It was nice

but now it's done.

Do you plan

to put up a fight.

Do you feel

How do you view

your coming trial.

Have your men

proved at all worthwhile.

Did you pick

an efficient team.

You'll just love

the high priest's house.

I think I've seen you

somewhere

I remember.

You were with that man

they took away

I recognise your face.

You've got the wrong man lady

I don't know him.

And I wasn't where

he was tonight

never near the place.

That's strange for I am sure

I saw you with him.

You were right by his side

and yet you denied.

I tell you

I was never ever with him.

But I saw you too

it looked just like you.

I don't know him!

Peter don't you know

what you have said.

You've gone and

cut him dead.

I had to do it

don't you see

or else they'd go for me.

It's what he told us

you would do

I wonder how he knew.

Who is this broken man

cluttering up my hallway

who is this unfortunate.

Someone Christ

king of the jews.

Oh, so this is Jesus Christ

I am really quite surprised.

You look so small

not a king at all.

We all know that you are news

but are you king

king of the jews.

That's what you say I am

Oh, what do you mean by that

that is not an answer.

You're deep, deep in trouble friend

someone Christ

King of the jews.

How can someone

in your state

be so cool about his fate.

An amazing thing

this silent king.

Since you come from Galilee

then you need not come to me.

You're Herod's race

he's Herod's case.

Hosanna heysanna

sanna sanna hosanna

heysanna ho and how.

Hey J.C., J.C.

please explain to me.

You had everything

where is it now.

Jesus I am overjoyed

to meet you face to face.

You've been getting

quite a name

all around this place.

Healing cripples

raising the dead.
