Lyrics

Gethsemane

We're gathered here today for one good reason

And it's not to celebrate the holy season

Jesus, He has got the nerve

To come to the feast

He's come to disturb the peace

Now that that's been said let's get right to it

We all want Him dead but how to do it?

There is one among the twelve

Who could be some help

This could be the chance we've waited for

Bring him at once this conspirator

But just keep it quiet or we'll start a war

I'm the watcher of the red skies

The spirit of death

I am speaking in his mind

He repeats what I said

I'm the voice inside his head

Come on Judas take him over

He's as crazy as they say

Think of all the good that you'll do

With the money they'll pay

Judas now be on your way!

I know a place where He can be found

Not far from these gates but far from the crowd

There you can arrest Him quietly

Here is the cash give us the lowdown

Where does He go when no one's around?

I hope you know this is very hard for me

At night, in the Garden of Gethsemane

Because dark is the night

Please don't leave us alone

'Cause we all need your light in our souls

Jesus stand up and fight

Bring back all that they stole

'Cause we all need your light in our souls

Will you wait and pray with me?

While my soul is in agony

Will you stay with me for one single hour?

Oh Father, take this cup from your only Son

Still not my will but thine be done

And to you be all the glory and power, Oh Father

Here they come

The Son of Man is betrayed into their hands

Let us go, my betrayer is at hand

Peter, stop! It will not go down like this

And Judas would you betray me with a kiss?

You had to come in the dark of night

I was with you every day

This is your hour and I will not fight

This is my Father's way

Come on, Judas let us take him away!
