Andrew Lloyd Webber: Damned For All Time

JUDAS
Now, if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kind of things are coming hard to me
It's taken me some time to work out what to do
I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you
I have not thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time

I came because I had to, I'm the one who saw
Jesus can't control it like he did before
And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you
I have not thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time

Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathise
Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones
Who see the sad solution, know what must be done?
I have not thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time

BLOOD MONEY

ANNAS
Cut the protesting, forget the excuses
We want information, get up off the floor

CAIAPHAS
We have the papers we need to arrest him
You know his movements, we know the law

ANNAS
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded

CAIAPHAS
We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him
With no crowd around him, then we can't fail

JUDAS
I don't want your blood money

CAIAPHAS
Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses are good

JUDAS
I don't need your blood money

ANNAS
But you might as well take it, we think that you should

CAIAPHAS
Think of the things you can do with that money
Choose any charity, give to the poor
We've noted your motives, we've noted your feelings
This isn't blood money, it's a

ANNAS
A fee -

CAIAPHAS
A fee nothing more

JUDAS
On Thursday night
You'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds
In the garden of Gethesmene

CROWD
Well done, Judas
Good old Judas
