Trial & 39 Lashes Lyrics - Singles - Jesus Christ Superstar

(Pilate) 

And so the king is once again my guest 

And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed? 

(Caiaphas) 

We turned 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 

(Annas) 

We need him crucified, It's all you have to do 

(Pilate) 

Talk to me, Jesus Christ 

You have been brought here 

Manacled, beaten by your own people 

Do you have the first idea of 

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 

(Crowd) 

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 what you 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?

(Crowd) 

Crucify him, crucify him! 

(Pilate) 

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

(Crowd) 

We have no king but Caesar 

(Pilate) 

He's done no wrong, No, not the slightest thing 

(Crowd) 

We have no king but Caesar, Crucify him! 

(Pilate) 

Oh this is new! Respect for Caesar! 

Till now this has been, Noticeably lacking! 

Who is this Jesus? Why is he different? 

You Jews put up, These Messiahs by the sackful 

(Crowd) 

We need him crucified 

It's all you have to do (Repeat 2x) 

(Pilate) 

Talk to me, Jesus Christ 

Look at your Jesus Christ 

I'll agree he's mad 

Ought to be locked up 

But that is not a reason To destroy him 

He's a sad little man, Not a king or god 

Not a thief, I need a crime! 

(Crowd) 

Kill him! He says he's God! 

He is a blasphemer! 

He'll conquer you and us And even Caesar! 

(Laughs) Crucify him! Crucify him! 

(Pilate) 

Behold the man! Behold your shattered king! 

(Crowd) 

We have no king but Caesar! 

(Pilate) 

You hypocrites! You hate us more than him! 

(Crowd) 

We have no king but Caesar, Crucify 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 

(Crowd) 

Crucify him! Crucify him! 

Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify (Repeat 4x) 

(Pilate counts off the 39 Lashes) 

One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! 

Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven! Twelve! 

Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen! Sixteen! 

Seventeen! Eighteen! Nineteen! Twenty! 

Twenty one! Twenty two! Twenty three! 

Twenty four! Twenty five! Twenty six! 

Twenty seven! Twenty eight! Twenty nine! 

Thirty! Thirty one! Thirty two! Thirty three! 

Thirty four! Thirty five! Thirty six! 

Thirty seven! Thirty eight! Thirty nine! 

(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? 

(Crowd) 

Silence! Crucify him! 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! (3x) 

(Pilate) 

Don't let me stop, Your great self-destruction! 

Die if you want to, You misguided martyr! 

I wash my hands of your demolition! 

Die if you want to, You innocent puppet!
