trial before pilate / 39 lashes - andrew lloyd webber lyrics

Loading...

[pilate]
and so, the king is once again my guest
and why is this? was herod unimpressed?

[caiaphas]
we turn to rome to sentence nazareth
we have no law to put a man to death
we need him crucified – it’s all you have to do
we need him crucified – it’s all you have to do

[pilate]
talk to me jesus christ
you’ve been brought here – manacled, beaten
by your own people – do you have the first idea
why you deserve it?
listen king of the jews
where is your kingdom?
look at me – am i a jew?

[jesus]
i have got no kingdom in this world –
i’m through, through, through

[mob]
talk to me, jesus christ

[jesus]
there may be a kingdom for me somewhere – if i only knew

[pilate]
then you’re a king? —

[jesus]
— it’s you that say i am
i look for truth, and find that i get d-mned

[pilate]
but what is truth? is truth unchanging law?
we both have truths – are mine the same as yours?

[mob]
crucify him!

[pilate]
what do you mean? you’d crucify your king?

[mob]
we have no king but caesar!

[pilate]
he’s done no wrong – no, not the slightest thing!

[mob]
we have no king but caesar! crucify him!

[pilate]
i see no reason – i find no evil
this man is harmless so why does he upset you?
he’s just misguided – thinks he’s important
but to keep you vultures happy, i shall flog him!

[mob]
crucify him!

thirty-nine lashes

[pilate]
where are you from jesus? what do you want jesus? tell me
you’ve got to be careful – you could be dead soon –
could well be
why do you not speak when i have your life in my hands?
how can you stay quiet? i don’t believe you understand

[jesus]
you have nothing in your hands
any power you have comes to you from far beyond
everything is fixed, and you can’t change it

[pilate]
you’re a fool, jesus christ – how can i help you?

[mob]
pilate! crucify him!
remember caesar – you have a duty
to keep the peace, so crucify him!
remember caesar – you’ll be demoted, you’ll be deported
crucify him!

[pilate]
don’t let me stop your great self destruction
die if you want to, you misguided martyr!
i wash my hands of your demolition
die if you want to, you innocent puppet!
