Judas

Song Description

The song starts with strings, a muted trumpet and then a groove inspired by the detecives I saw on TV as a kid. The song is about a crime, or rather a betrayal - that of Judas some 2000 years ago. His name is still associated with fraud all over the world after just one act (that's impact). How did it happen? What drove him to become the world's most infamous breeder.

Lyrics

We travel around from place to place
You can see the traces in my face
I've got no home, I've got no say
On where to go or where to stay

The game's turning
it's falling down and hits the ground
And every little piece is flying
Though my whole world is shaking now,
it's breaking down
I'm getting out at last

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Judas
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Judas
Everyone blames you
But who's gonna save you
You've sold out your heart and the One
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Judas

Well if you challenge the establishment
You ought to estimate the punishment
The next time they come ask for me
I'll do whatever to break free

An Easter supper, we broke the bread
and shared some wine
But I don't care too much for dreams, I
Put my trust in the reliable facts and concrete acts
And in powerful regimes

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Judas
(We all know your name, forever marked with shame)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Judas
(I'm still thinking of you and of your reasons, still)
Everyone blames you
But who's gonna save you
You've sold out your heart and the One
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Judas
We share the conditions
The same dispositions
The ongoing fight for our hearts
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Judas

(Hammer)
