(Pilate:)And so the king, is once again my guest
And why is this?Was Herod unimpressed?
(Caiaphus:)We turn 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
(Caiaphus+Annas :)We need him crucified
It’s all you have to do
(Pilate:)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?
(Jesus:)I have got no kingdom in this world,I’m through through through
(Crowd:)Talk to me,Jesus Christ
(Jesus:)There may be a kindom for me somewhere if I only knew
(Pilate:)Well then you are a king
(Jesus:)That’s what you say I am
I look for truth and find that I get damned
(Pilate:)But what is truth? Not easy to define
We both have truths, are yours the same as mine?
(Crowd:)Crucify him! Crucify him!
(Pilate:)What do you mean? You’d crucify your king?
(Crowd:)We have no king but Caesar
(Pilate:)He’s done no wrong, no, not the slightest thing
(Crowd:)We have no king but Caesar
Crucify him!
(Pilate:)Well, this is new, respect for Caesar!
Till now, This has been noticeably lacking
Who is this Jesus? Why is he different?
You Jews produce Messiahs by the sackful
(Crowd:)We need him crucified
It’s all you have to do
We need him crucified
It’s all you have to do
(Pilate:)Talk to me, Jesus Christ
Look at your Jesus Christ
I’ll agree he’s mad
Ought to be locked up
But that is not a reason to destroy him
He’s a sad little man, not a king or God
Not a thief, I need a crime
(Crowd:)Kill him, he says he’s God, he’s a blasphemer
He’ll conquer you and us and even Caesar
Kill him--! Kill him!
Crucify him! Crucify him!
(Pilate:)Behold the man, behold your shattered king
(Crowd:)We have no king but Caesar
(Pilate:)You hypocrites, you hate us more than him
(Crowd:)We have no king but Caesar
Crucify him!
(Pilate:)I find no reason, I see 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!
(Crowd:)Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!
Crucify him! Crucify him!
Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!
Crucify him!!! Crucify him!
Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!

(Pilate:)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
(Jesus:)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
(Pilate:)You’re a fool, Jesus Christ!
How can I help you?
(Crowd:)Pilate, crucify him! Crucify!
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!
