(Solo) Those chief priests ain’t the friendly kind (Echo) Those chief priests ain’t the friendly kind
(Solo) Have you gone and lost your mind? (Echo) Have you gone and lost your mind?

(Solo) I’ve got a hunch you’re gonna lose. You’re gonna lose. You’re gonna lose.

Hey there, Judas yes Iscariot
No chance of changing your mind
Hey there, Judas yes Iscariot
You can see, but you’re still blind. You’re still blind.

(Solo) Tell me now, what is your plan (Echo) Tell me now, what is your plan
(Solo) Why the kiss to the Son of Man? (Echo) Why the kiss to the Son of Man?

(Solo) You should have stayed and kept the faith (Echo) You should have stayed and kept the faith
(Solo) For Christ arose up from the grave (Echo) For Christ arose up from the grave
(Solo) Death bonds couldn’t hold Him still
(Solo) All of this was His Father’s will
(Solo) Christ paid the price for our sin
(Solo) And we must put our faith in Him

(second bridge)
Without the blood, no forgiveness
Without the blood, no saving grace
Without the blood, no redeeming witness
Without the blood, our lives would waste

With the blood, complete forgiveness
With the blood, saving grace
With the blood, a redeeming witness
With the blood, I am saved.
(repeat last 4 lines of second bridge)
