(Pilate) And so the king Is once again my guest And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?
(Caiaphas) We turned 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
(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 There may be a kingdom for me Somewhere if I only knew
(Pilate) You're a king
(Jesus) Yes you can see I am I look for truth And find that I get damned
(Pilate) What is truth? Is truth unchanging law? We both have truths Are mine the same as yours?
(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) I see no reason I find 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
