Trial Before Pilate (Jesus Christ Superstar 1970)

Текст песни Andrew Lloyd Webber and Victor Brox, Ian Gillan, Barry Dennen, Tim Rice - Trial Before Pilate (Jesus Christ Superstar 1970)

And so the King is once again my guest
And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?
We turned 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

You're a king
It's you that say I am, I look for truth
And find that I get damned
What is truth? Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths, are mine the same as yours?

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

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, crucify
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify
Crucify, crucify
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify
Crucify, crucify
Crucify, crucify, crucify, crucify

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, 11, 12
13, 14, 15, 16
17, 18, 19, 20
21, 22, 23, 24
25, 26, 27, 28
29, 30, 31, 32
33, 34, 35, 36
37, 38, 39

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
