And so, the king is once again my guest
And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?
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
Talk to me, Jesus Christ
You have 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?
I have got no kingdom in this world
I'm through, through, through
Talk to me, Jesus Christ
There may be a kingdom for me somewhere, if I only knew
Then you're a king?
It's you that say I am
I look for truth, and find that I get damned
But what is truth? Not easy to define
We both have truths, are yours the same as mine?
Crucify him, crucify him
What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?
We have no king but Caesar
He's done no wrong, no, not the slightest thing
We have no king but Caesar, crucify him
Well, this new respect for Caesar
'Til now this has been noticeably lacking
Who is this Jesus? Why is he different?
You Jews produce Messiahs by the sack full
We need him crucified
It's all you have to do
We need him crucified
It's all you have to do
Talk to me, Jesus Christ
Look at your Jesus Christ
I'll agree,,, he's mad
Ought to be locked up
But that is not a reason to destroy him
He's a sad little man
Not a king or God
Not a thief
I need a crime
Kill him
He says he's God, he's a blasphemer
He'll conquer you, and us, and even Caesar
Crucify him, crucify him
Behold a man
Behold your shattered king
We have no king but Caesar
You hypocrites
You hate us more than him
We have no king but Caesar
Crucify him
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
Crucify him, crucify him
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify him, crucify him
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify him, crucify him
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, 11, 12
13, 14, 15, 16

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
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
You're a fool, Jesus Christ, how can I help you?
Pilate, crucify him, 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
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
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
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
