You know how, sometimes you get a song stuck in your head, and since you can't remember the words, you can't get it out? This is one song that is bad to have stuck in your head! Judas has just realized what he he has done turning over his friend and mentor over to the Romans... and the realization is driving him insane! Calaphus, the high priest is consoling Judas in his slow, rumbling, evil bass voice. Never try to get this song in your head!
[JUDAS (franticlly]
[Caliphas (low and menacing)]
My God, I saw him, he looked as good as dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head!
You beat him so hard 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...
Save him... if I could....
Stop the confessions, forget the excuses,
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.
All you have said has come true with a vengence.
The mob turned against him... you've backed the right horse!
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...
