Xyster - Sentenced By Pilate lyrics

rate me

Who is this man before me and what crime has he done?<br />

Do you want me to free him or let Barabas run?<br />

Barabas is a murderer, an evil man, a thief<br />

Yet you want me to destroy Jesus to satisfy your belief<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

Live or will he die<br />

Sentenced by Pilate, we'll crucify<br />

<br />

When I give you this man Barabas will be freed<br />

Then you're free to kill Christ for your bloodthirsty creed<br />

The cross is ready and prepared for him to be slain<br />

I know that you will mutilate and let him die in pain<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

I have washed my hands of him, now he is all yours<br />

<br />

It is none of my doing that Jesus Christ is dead<br />

Forgive me father in Heaven, give me my daily bread<br />

If I had done what was right my life would be lost<br />

Jesus Christ would have lived and I'd be nailed to the cross<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

[Repeat 1st verse]<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

We'll crucify!
