I’ll Be Your Judas

 (Verse 1)

You have me here burning stolen coals

I can’t even call my musing fire my own

You won’t let me

Just keep on abusing me, just losing me

A consuming fire, flame like a match

So easily extinguishable and we’d be free

But that would mean setting the flint trigger down

Hun, I’m too trigger happy for that

Funny little rush, so hun, let’s just hush

Keep it to yourself

While I play with the blaze

Torch this pretty little house on stilts

(Chorus)

Some say the world will end in fire,

I’m standing here to agree

I've tasted of sweet desire

And you can expect a pretty little fee

I’ll hold with those who favor fire.

Watch their dreams go up in smoke

But if it had to perish twice,

I’d light a match with a single stroke.

I think I know enough of hate

That burning myself would suffice. 

I know that you enjoy light shows

This is one where we'll both pay the ultimate price.

(Verse 2)

You think this is a cute little game

You think it’s okay to be playing God

Some Jesus Christ Superstar

Sorry hun, obviously we aren’t singin’ harmony

You’ve got wrong pitch, wrong key, wrong sheet of music

Stick with the script, then maybe sing a bar

Till you can get with the program, keep that trap shut

Or we’ll close the curtain on you

Forgot to tell you you’re in the wrong Act

You can stop playing ‘holier than thou’

I’m done playing your petty disciple

Almighty, maybe it’s time you watch your back

(Bridge)

Now this fire starting in my heart

Burns through another chapter

I visit those memories

Days when I thought I couldn’t be happier

(Chorus)

Some say the world will end in fire,

I’m standing here to agree

I've tasted of sweet desire

And you can expect a pretty little fee

I’ll hold with those who favor fire.

Watch their dreams go up in smoke

But if it had to perish twice,

I’d light a match with a single stroke.

I think I know enough of hate

That burning myself would suffice. 

I know that you enjoy light shows

This is one where we'll both pay the ultimate price.

(Bridge)

Now this fire starting in my heart

Burns through another chapter

I visit those memories

Days when I thought I couldn’t be happier

We’ve run our course

Time to get on with our lives

Or maybe someone must be crucified

Time to for one of us to step aside

Or maybe it’s time for one of us to be crucified
