Trial Before Pilate by Jesus Christ Superstar
And so the King
Is once again my guest
And why is this?
Was Herod unimpressed?
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
Talk to me, Jesus Christ
You have been brought here
Manacled, beaten by Your own people
Do You have the first idea
Why You deserve it?
Listen, King of the Jews
Where is Your kingdom?
Look at me, am I a Jew?
I have got no kingdom in this world
I'm through, through, through
There may be a kingdom for me
Somewhere if I only knew
You're a king
Yes You can see I am
I look for truth
And find that I get damned
What is truth?
Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths
Are mine the same as Yours?
Crucify Him, crucify Him
What do you mean
You'd crucify your king?
We have no king but Caesar
He's done no wrong
No, not the slightest thing
We have no king but Caesar
Crucify Him
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
Crucify, crucify
