MARKED FOR DELETION - Judas Priest lyrics

It questions the way Jesus died And what's been considered Gospel for nearly 2, 000 years Was Judas Iscariot one of the 12 disciples With Jesus in his final days, really a traitor? Or, was he the favorite disciple Given a secret, as part of a divine plan? (The Gospel of Judas is, is a real surprise) (It pictures Judas, not as the worst villain in the history of the world) (As he's, always been thought of in Christian tradition) (But as the one disciple, whom Jesus entrusts with secret understanding) That secret understanding say scholars Is contained in these writings from 300 A.D And referred to by researchers As the Gospel of Judas So I ran... with nowhere to go Through the streets of Galilee these faces I don't know These people all look angry - do they know I k**ed their God? For 30 coins of silver I devised the sickest plot Pontius Pilate washed his hands goodbye of this so Caiaphas And I devised a plan, sold Chris out with a biased kiss I'm just trying to get away, he's dying it's my fault Was he a lunatic? Was he the son of God? As they took him away on that day, heard Paul and Peter say "It's you who did betray, " I guess it was my fate Christ was whipped and beaten mocked by people on the hill Now everyone is quiet cause they know our savior has been k**ed I went to Calvary, he was hangin from the cross Crown of thorns upon his head, hope was tossed away and lost But he looked at me and the final thing he said Was "I forgive you Judas, " closed his eyes and he was dead Golgotha! They put my homey on a cross Golgotha! Right now I feel all could be lost Golgotha! Was only doing what you said Now these people are all talking, they say Jesus Chris is dead GOLGOTHA! I know not why I do! This thing you asked me to! GOLGOTHA! Upon the cross you lie! To show you can not die! Judas Priest, I wrote a book about it, never made the Bible And they say my story's libel I've been feeling suicidal But the devil's hands are idle and they have nothing to do With this hell on Earth I'm living in, the stuff that I've been through Looking for a place of comfort somewhere deep inside Ever since my friend died, all I want to do is hide All I want to do is die, tell me why am I so vilified? Why am I so ostracized? There were 11 other guys Synoptic Gospels, only three of them explain Matthew, Mark and Luke's account of what happened that day But I knew Jesus Christ, I knew him very well He sent me on a mission some might say would lead to Hell I went to Calvary - Christ was dying on the hill I went to Calvary - everybody stood real still I went to Calvary - to see if it was true The plan he made went through, what he asked me to do I went to Calvary, he was hanging from the cross Crown of thorns upon his head, hope was not lost He looked at me and the final thing he said Was "I forgive you Judas, " closed his eyes and he was dead Golgotha! So there's nothing more to say Golgotha! When it all seems done I'll say Golgotha! Christ you were a lunatic Golgotha! Were you just a lunatic? Christ you were a lunatic Just a lunatic
