Overture Lyrics

JudasMy mind is clearer now - at last all too wellI can see where we all soon will beIf you strip away the myth from the manYou will see where we all soon will beJesus!You've started to believeThe things they say of youYou really do believeThis talk of God is trueAnd all the good you've doneWill soon get swept awayYou've begun to matter moreThan the things you sayListen Jesus I don't like what I seeAll I ask is that you listen to meAnd remember ? I've been your right hand man all alongYou have set them all on fireThey think they've found the new MessiahAnd they'll hurt you when they find they're wrongI remember when this whole thing beganNo talk of God then ? we called you a manAnd believe me ? my admiration for you hasn't diedBut every word you say todayGets twisted round some other wayAnd they'll hurt you if they think you've liedNazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknownLike his father carving wood ? he'd have made goodTable chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus bestHe'd have causes nobody harm ? no-one alarmListen Jesus do you care for your race?Don't you see we must keep in our place?We are occopied ? have you forgotten how put down we are?I am frightened by the crowdFor we are getting much to loudAnd they'll crush us if we go too farListen Jesus do the warning I givePlease remember that I want us to liveBut it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hourAll your followers are blindTo much heaven on their mindsIt was beautiful but It's sourYes it's all gone sour
