lyrics

I wasn’t witless
That’s why you chose me over them
But 30 pieces of silver
They didn’t stretch far, even then

The great betrayer
That was my accepted role
But if you’re more than a metaphor
Reappear and take control

It’s no wonder
You couldn’t hack it
Only dead fish left in your basket
Such a treacherous age
Then and now

For human kind I made
Great sacrifice the age,
of christ never engaged
Across the world stage
My sheckles pile high
I’m far too rich to die
Its Christmas time again
Where are you my old friend?

Served my role within your scheme
to betray you, to begin
An age of peace and love
You’ve not held up your side of

2000 years of rot
Dark age your absence brought
I too must bear a cross
Isolated astronaut

You gave me tantrums never tactics
Multiplied bread loaves
They did backflips over your
Carnival gestures
If you return I’ve got questions

How does it feel
behind the veil?
Hidden dimensions
Sip from your grail
While you watch meek populations
Ground up by psychopath nations

I didn’t hang or burst
I cannot die
That’s much worse
Than your penance
My lies
Set the tone for theses ages
Endless invisible cages

Served my role within your scheme
to betray you, to begin
An age of peace and love
You’ve not held up your side of

Transubstantiations fumes
Emanate from jam packed tombs
Wine and crackers fed the rats
Holy blood dried up long past

Jesus's love lurks in the bushes. It sees you always, and you cannot hide from it. You cannot outrun it. It will hunt you forever. I am glad he finally choked it down. oldfolksmasher
