The Betrayer's Kiss (Matthew 26:15)

I heard the blind men call your name
I watched you heal and break their chains
I saw the storm obey your voice
Yet somehow I still made my choice

Three years beside the holy one
Yet darkness grew where light had shone
I hid my greed beneath a smile
And let it guide me all the while

The silver felt like victory
Until it stained my hand
Now every coin reminds me
Of the blood of innocents

With a betrayer's kiss I gave away the king
For thirty pieces of silver and everything they bring
Now the weight of my regret is heavier than these chains
I traded love for riches and lost my soul that day

Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?

The garden stood beneath the night
The torches burned, the swords were bright
You looked at me without a fear
As if you knew I'd lead them here

No anger burning in your eyes
No curse beneath the midnight sky
Just mercy standing face to face
While guilt consumed my every breath

The silver lost its value
The moment you were gone
Now every step I take
Feels like walking with a stone

With a betrayer's kiss I gave away the king
For thirty pieces of silver and everything they bring
Now the weight of my regret is heavier than these chains
I traded love for riches and lost my soul that day

Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?

Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?

Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?

With a betrayer's kiss I handed over love
The lamb who came to save the world
Sent from heaven above
Now the tears fall like the rain

And I cannot erase the memory of the night
I chose my greed over your grace
Oh you, a betrayer, (forever i will bear your name!!)
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?

Oh you, a betrayer, how could you do this?
Oh you, a betrayer, why would you do this?
