Pilate's Lament (By John And Sheila Ludgate)

[Intro:]      -    

I don't understand these people, their rules and their laws
And who is this man, they claim he calls himself God
Quiet but clever, I can find no wrong
But the sooner I let them have their way, the sooner they'll be gone

I wish I was back in Rome, far from this peasant crowd
At the centre of the world, with the beautiful, the proud
The emperor, the court, a chance to be seen
But until I'm done I'm stuck here, dealing with these no-win scenes

So I wash my hands of this case, in this sad and strange land
But I've somehow become guilty, this man's blood is on my hands
Now I'm the ruler who did nothing, just let the deed be done
I've become the accused, history's unforgiven one

[Instrumental:]  Verse Progression

These people have pushed me too far, I'll make their victory their loss
They want me to change the words that I've placed on that cross
"King of the Jews", was I driven by anger or by the divine
Well I've written what I've written, now we'll all live with that line.

Repeat Chorus 
...I'm the ruler who did nothing, just let the deed be done
Now the stone's been rolled away, and I'm the guilty one
