(Judas)

My God, I saw him

He looked three-quarters dead

And he was so bad

I had to turn my head

With innocent blood

Through the slime and the mud

I have been spattered

With innocent blood

I should be dragged

Through the slime and the mud

Does he love me too?

Does he care for me?

Ohhhhh...



My mind is darkness now

My god I am sick

And you knew

All the time

God I'll never ever know

Why you c
