My God! I saw him – he looked three-quarters dead!And he was so bad I had to turn my headYou beat him so hard that he was bent and lameAnd I know who everybody's gonna blameI don't believe he knows I acted for our goodI'd save him all this suffering if I couldDon't believe ... our good ... save him ... if I couldPRIEST 3

Christ! I know you can't hear meBut I only did what you wanted me toChrist! I'd sell out the nationFor I have been saddled with the murder of youI have been spattered with innocent bloodI shall be dragged through the slime and the mudI have been spattered with innocent bloodI shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!I don't know how to love him.I don't know why he moves meHe's a man – he's just a manHe's not a king – he's just the sameAs anyone I knowHe scares me soWhen he's cold and dead will he let me be?Does he love me too? Does he care for me?My mind is darkness now – My God I am sick I've been usedAnd you knew all the timeGod! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crimeFor your foul bloody crimeYou have murdered me! You have murdered me!
