Rob Gardner - The Betrayal Lyrics
NARRATION (Man)And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith untoPeter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? And again he went away,And prayed. And when he returned, twice he found them asleep again. And theThird time, he saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it isEnough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the handsOf sinners.NARRATION (Woman)And while he yet spake, lo, Judas came, and with him a great multitude.JUDASWhomsoever I kiss, That same is he: Take him and lead him away, Lead himAway safely.NARRATION (Woman)And he goeth straightway to Jesus, and kissed him.JUDASHail, Master.NARRATION (Woman)Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?NARRATION (Man)And Peter drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's.CHOIR (In Aramaic)Ktush! Ktush! Qum, ktush! Qum, ktush!(Fight! Fight! Rise, Fight! Rise, Fight!)NARRATION (Man)Then said Jesus unto him, Put up thy sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot nowPray to my Father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels?The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?NARRATION (Woman)Then laid they hands on Jesus, and took him.PETERThe others flee, How soon He is forsaken.And shall I flee?Abandon Him to face this all alone?But He won't fight.Is He willing to allow this foul deceit?Still, I must follow...MARY (The Mother of Jesus)Why is this night different?Are we this night set free?Are we now slaves no longer?JOHNMary come, They have taken our Lord away.And I follow behind...They have taken thy Son!
