the reverent marigold - judas - acoustic lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
alright, take five

one, two, three, four

[verse 1]
on my grimy dresser
there’s a bottle of blue pills
and every morning i take one
beneath my tongue and hold it still
and mary has left me a note
“there’s breakfast on the stove”
but she wakes up early next to john
and all the eggs are cold

then jesus comes to me again
and grinning, lifts his shirt
and i trace the scars on his chest
that his virgin birth
had led him to

he was in a bind
but he embracеd the sacred
god held his facе and knew it
but it still didn’t save him

and i see far horizons where the lambs lie with the lions
but there are poppies growing over where my friends are lying
and paul had an old name
but we never use it
and you may call me traitor
but my lover called me judas
oh

[chorus]
hosannah
hosannah
hosannah in the highest
hosannah
hosannah
hosannah in the highest
[verse 2]
i’m upstairs breathing in the scented oil on his skin
and exactly as he taught, i take the holy spirit in
the body on my tongue
and the blood dripping down my mouth
oh, who among us apostles
has ever been unclouded and without sin?

is counting silver now the only time you think of me?
i, who dared to love unblinking
the bright son of galilee?
on the mountain he held all creation in his sight
and foresaw the k!lling kiss we shared at gethsemane that night

so down through the ages, let my name be ever known
as the one who gave him up to death so he could roll away the stone
you curse me but he loved me, too
and held me in his arms
and i am only judas iscariot
he was the son of god

[chorus]
hosannah
hosannah
hosannah in the highest
hosannah
hosannah
hosannah in the highest
[outro]
amen
amen
amen
amen
amen
amen
hallelujah
amen

and it’s cold out here
out here alone
in the potter’s field
