Hallowed ground is tread upon

A sinners history is famed

Mortal man turned away from god

For merely nothing

Betrayal marked by the baying hounds

The dying light fades to black

One of two will pay for blood

The other turns his back

You have listened to all of them master now you must listen to me

For a few pieces of silver your life is handed to him

Chanting not for a king

But a man destined for hell

The madness of a murder

Sacrificed to quell

Whipped and stoned led to death

Bound by blood and chain

A kiss to mark the end of him

Coin paid your shame

The strike of the hammer

Iron piercing flesh

Cries of the savior

A God put to death

You call yourself a martyr what have you done

Sold your soul for less than nothing now burn 'till kingdom come

Mocked and shorn the masses laughed

From the shadows you saw

What your act has done this day

A friend stripped raw

When shamed and speared for all

What did you feel

False remorse filled your eyes

But for coin you kneel

Golgotha the blight behind

Shadowed in betrayal

Pined with iron crowned in thorn

The king is dead hail

Was the coin worth its weight

Blood for silver and gold

Hells gates await

Because your hammer it will fall
