Artist/Band: Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics for Song: Trial Before Pilate
Lyrics for Album: Jesus Christ Superstar [1971]



Pilate:

And so the king is once again my guest

And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?



Caiaphas:

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

We need him crucified - it's all you have to do



Pilate:

Talk to me Jesus Christ

You've 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



Mob:

Talk to me Jesus Christ



Jesus:

There may be a kingdom for me somewhere - if I only knew



Pilate:

Then you're a king?



Jesus:

It's you who say I am

I look for truth and find that I get damned



Pilate:

But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law?

We both have truths - are mine the same as yours?



Mob:

Crucify him!



Pilate:

What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?



Mob:

We have no king but Caesar!



Pilate:

He's done no wrong - no not the slightest thing



Mob:

We have no king but Caesar! Crusify 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



Mob:

Crucify him!



THIRTY-NINE LASHES



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?



Mob:

Pilate! Crucify him!

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!



Pilate:

Don't let me stop your great selfdestruction

Die if you want to you misguided martyr

I wash my hands of your demolition

Die if you want to you innocent puppet!
