Jesus Must Die

___________________________

/ / This is where Caiaphas and his priests realize

/ This Jesus Must Die / the 'danger' of Jesus and the rebellion he might

/ Jesus Christ Superstar / start, and where they decide that this Jesus must

/__________________________/ die. The chords of the last parts are just superb!

Priest 1: Look, Caiaphas - they're right outside our yard

--------- Fm

Priest 3: Quick, Caiaphas - go call the Roman guard...

Caiaphas: No wait - we need a more permanent solution to our problem...

Annas: What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?

Miracle wonderman - hero of fools?

Priest 2: No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans

Caiaphas: One thing I'll say for him: Jesus is cool

Priest 1: We dare not leave him to his own devices

His half-witted fans will get out of control

Priest 3: But how can we stop him? - His glamour increases

By leaps every minute - he's top of the poll

Caiaphas: I see bad things arising

The crowd crown him King which the Romans would ban

I see blood and destruction

Our elimination because of one man

Blood and destruction because of one man

All: Because, because, because of one man

Caiaphas: Our elimination because of one man

All: Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man

----

Priest 3: What then to do about this Jesus-mania?

Annas: How do we deal with the carpenter king?

Priest 3: Where do we start with a man who is bigger

Than John was when John did his Baptism thing?

Caiaphas: Fools! You have no perception

The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high!

We must crush him completely

So like John before him, this Jesus must die

For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die

All: Must die, must die, this Jesus must die

Caiaphas: So like John before him, this Jesus must die

All: Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die!
