Judas Kiss

Do you know the story of the judas kiss?

Judas the lion trader who sold his prince life for thirty pieces of sliver

But gather 'round brothers and sisters

While we straight together for the reason he gave that kiss

That betrayed kiss

Judas!

Judas, why did you give that kiss?

Did your friend do something bad?

Or was it just the thirty pieces

Was that all they had when you saw his sad eyes as you turned to walk away

Did it even cross your mind the price you'd have to pay, did it?

Judas!

Hallelujah (listen to the angels singing)

Hallelu-u-u-uuu-yaaah (they sound so sweet and lost, yes)

Hallelujah (their singing for your friend Judas)

Hallelu-u-u-uuu-yaaaaaaah (and when you sang to the cross)

A trader nobody likes to talk about

The symbol of lying, cheating, and distrust

A man's deed is remembered in shame by people all over the world!

The man who gave that kiss, that betraying kiss!

That betraying kiss!

Judas!

Judas, why did you give that kiss?

What did you hope to gain?

I bet you never thought a kiss could bring you so much shame

I wonder how you must have felt when you saw his face

Thirty pieces and a kiss to price your pay for fame

Judas!

Hallelujah (listen to the angels sing)

Hallelu-u-u-uuu-yaaah (they sound so sweet and lost)

Hallelujah (their singing for your friend Judas)

Hallelu-u-u-uuu-yaaaaaaaaah (and when you sang to the cross)

We don't want to be like Judas, we don't want to have his name

A lyin' man who sit his friend to the cross, and thirty pieces resolved he gain

We don't have to be like Judas, the symbol of cheating and hate

We don't have to betray our friends to the cross

Judas! (watch out!)

Judas! (he balls into hate!)

Judas!
