Juda's death
Совершенно понятно, почему православным активистам не нравится эта рок-опера. Тут Иуда не предатель, а "почему ты выбрал меня?". Совершенно иные мотивы, а Иисус заставил распять себя сам. Весь миф о подлецах рушится.
Недаром Борхес предположил, что Бог стал Иудой, а не Иисусом.
Judas:
Christ! I know you can't hear me
But I only did what you wanted me to
Christ! I'd sell out the nation
For I have been saddled with the murder of you
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!
I don't know how to love him
I don't know why he moves me
He's a man - he's just a man
He's not a king - he's just the same
As anyone I know
He scares me so
When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is in darkness now - my God I am sick I've been used
And you knew all the time
God! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime
Your foul bloody crime
You have murdered me! You have murdered me!
