Story behind the song
This began as a relective poem in my personal meditations. Later became part of a bible study I did upon Judas Iscariot. Had tried a few times to put it to music, (mostly variations around Em, C and G) but it need alteration. Using 'ai' to experiment with different versions, eventually led to a better structure and this rather haunting version.
Lyrics
Welcome to the Judas world,
the world of the betrayers,
This stage of compromise and fear,
upon which we are the players
this infernal paradise
where nobodies a sinner
Where the only thing that matters,
is that you end up as the winner.
Welcome to the Judas world,
Welcome to the Judas world,
where money sure speaks loud,
Where it's easier to rob the poor,
than go against the crowd
where compromise is a virtue
and the upright, bold and true,
Hide behind their painted masks,
what they really want to do.
Welcome to the Judas world,
Welcome to the Judas world,
where justice is trampled underfoot,
the politicians can be bought,
and the religion is corrupt.
Where tokens of affection,
are designed to call your bluff.
where people are commodities
and a kiss is never enough
Welcome to the Judas world,
Welcome to the Judas world,
where God offers the Christ,
But we strip Him of all meaning
and crucify his life,
Come stand by an open field
where hangs a noose upon a tree,
Where a world bent upon suicide,
will fulfill it's destiny.
Welcome to the Judas world,
Welcome to the Judas world,
where life is very cheap,
Where the blood that spills upon the ground...
Betrays the words we speak.
Welcome to the Judas world,
Welcome to the Judas world,
