letra de trial before pilate - original broadway cast of jesus christ superstar

[pilate]
and so, the king is once again my guest
and why is this? was herod unimpressed?

[caiaphas]
we turn 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
we need him crucified – it’s all you have to do

[pilate]
talk to me jesus christ
you’ve 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 mе – am i a jew?

[jesus]
i have got no kingdom in this world –
i’m through, through, through

[mob]
talk to me, jеsus christ
[jesus]
there may be a kingdom for me somewhere – if i only knew

[pilate]
then you’re a king? —

[jesus]
— it’s you that say i am
i look for truth, and find that i get d-mned

[pilate]
but what is truth? is truth unchanging law?
we both have truths – are mine the same as yours?

[mob]
crucify him! crucify him!

[pilate]
what do you mean? you’d crucify your king?

[mob]
we have no king but caesar!

[pilate]
he’s done no wrong – no, not the slightest thing!
[mob]
we have no king but caesar! crucify him!

[pilate]
well this is new
respect for ceaser
’til now this has been noticeably lacking
who is this jesus?
why is he different?
you choose messiahs by the sack full

[mob]
we need him crucified – it’s all you have to do
we need him crucified – it’s all you have to do

[pilate]
(spoken)
talk to me jesus christ

(sung)
look at your jesus christ
i’ll agree he’s mad
ought to be locked up
but that is not a reason to destroy him
he’s a sad little man
not a king or god
not a thief
i need a crime!
[mob]
k!ll him! he says he’s god
he’s a blasphemer
he’ll murder you and us and even ceaser

crucify him!
crucify him!

[pilate]
behold a man
behold your shattered king

[mob]
we have no king but caesar

[pilate]
you hypocrites
you hate us more than him

[mob]
we have no king but caesar
crucify him!

[pilate]
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!

[mob]
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!
crucify him!

[pilate]

-mob laughing and cheering-

[pilate]
where are you from jesus? what do you want jesus? tell me
you’ve got to be careful – you could be dead soon –
could well be
why do you not speak when i have your life in my hands?
how can you stay quiet? i don’t believe you understand

[jesus]
you have nothing in your hands
any power you have comes to you from far beyond
everything is fixed, and you can’t change it

[pilate]
you’re a fool, jesus christ – how can i help you?

[mob]
pilate! crucify him! crucify him!
remember caesar – you have a duty
to keep the peace, so crucify him!
remember caesar – you’ll be demoted, you’ll be deported
crucify him!
remember caesar – you have a duty
to keep the peace, so crucify him!
remember caesar – you’ll be demoted, you’ll be deported
crucify him!
remember caesar – you have a duty
to keep the peace, so crucify him!
remember caesar – you’ll be demoted, you’ll be deported
crucify him!

[pilate]
don’t let me stop your great self destruction
die if you want to, you misguided martyr
i wash my hands of your demolition
die if you want to, you innocent puppet
