My heart began to race as I drank of your blood
And again I felt the sleep wash over me
Like a flood. blessed and anointed
I stepped out in your name. blinded
I thought I carried purpose like a flame

I'm struck deaf and dumb, alone amongst the olives
How could I have just given up the lamb
Without blemish, spotless?
I thought I'd be the one to spring the trap
That knowing look in your eye
As you handed me the cup, bearer of your shining light
It's all been building to this. how was I so blind?

Realization has pulled the veil from eyes
Sleep has given way to cold sobriety
Now I finally see that your purpose wasn't revolution
Rather, unconditional, loving inclusion
I watched the rock sheath his weapon
An empathic hand on the head of the roman
I don't want their tainted money
That was never the motivation
My spring on the latch, failed midnight incursion
I thought I knew the word, heeded your lessons
But my pride has left me in ruins

How was I so blind? how did I miss it?

Oh, brother judas, woe to thee!
I've handed over my savior
Damned to hang from a tree
Oh, brother jesus, your name blessed be
I will hang with thee; I will hang with thee
