I've paid for Judas Silver and scarlet Why must I suffer from mankind's sins? I ponder sadly underneath greying skies Hopes and dreams past conjured That fade with time I seldom whisper prayers in the yearning twilight Yet they fall upon deaf ears How could I kneel to a ghost of centuries past? Shut my eyes upon the crucifix I rip Christ from my heart Your blood ran red What's gone is dead May your "sacrifice" be forgotten with time
