Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Judas Death" aus dem Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" handelt von dem inneren Konflikt des Judas Iskariot,...

JUDAS
My God! I saw him. He looked three-quarters dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head.
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame,
And I know who everybody's going to blame.
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good.
I'd save him all this suffering if I could.
Don't believe for our good
And I'd save him, if I could!

ANNAS
Cut the confessions. Forget the excuses.
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance.
The mob turned against him. You backed the right horse.

CAIAPHAS
What you have done will be the saving of Israel.
You'll be remembered forever for this.
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.
Pretty good wages for one little kiss.

JUDAS
Christ, I know you can't hear me,
But I only did what you wanted me to.
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.

I have been splattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and mud.
I have been splattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the slime and the mud!

I don't know how to love him.
I don't know why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
He is not a King. He is just the same
As any one I know.
He scares me so!

When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?

My mind is in darkness now.
My God, I am sick. I've been used.
And you knew, all the time.
God, I will never know why you chose me...
For your bloody crime...your foul bloody crime.
You have murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me!
Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered ...

TEMPTRESSES
Poor old Judas.
So long Judas.
