“The Kiss” Verse 1 I didn’t choose the zealot Didn’t choose the one who’d draw the blade I chose the one who walked beside Me The one whose silence never weighed Pre-chorus Not for the silver, not for Rome I chose you for the name you'd own Forever — every tongue, every page The friend who damned you to an age Chorus I knew what history would do to you That’s why my tears fell in the garden Not for the nails, not for the crowd For the man I’d just written into the shroud Oh Judas, my Judas I saw the rope before you did I saw the field, I saw the coins I saw the name that wouldn’t rid Verse 2 They’ll teach your children what you did They’ll carve it into every pew And I was there when you swung low I was the only one who knew Bridge Omniscient — I watched you coming Omnipotent — I let you near I could have stopped the hand from rising I chose the wound because you’re dear Best friend. That’s the only reason. A stranger’s sin dies with the night Yours lives on in every Bible Because I loved you, and that’s why Outro No one gets it No one ever will He condemned the man he loved most to a name that echoes still.
