lyrics

Having sought out blemishes in the
Passover Lamb, I found none
Having sought out truth in the
Matter of this man, I found none
People have a strange sense of justice, and I
Have a strange sense for death
I've spilled a lot of blood on the ground in my time and never
Found any justice yet

I'm only a judge in a backwater 'cause I
Married the king's granddaughter
Now she's restless, it seems, with a plague of dreams
About a lamb led to the slaughter

Having seen the evidence, I'm still
Fearful of a restless few
They'll have my head and the streets run red if I don't
Do what they ask me to
So if you're gonna do it, go and do it yourself
I wash my hands of this
I find no fault in this man whose brother
Delivered him with a kiss

Well, I keep the peace in this town, but I can't
Keep any peace in my heart
The more I seek the truth and try to wrestle it down, the more I
End at the place where I start
