I've experienced difficult choices to make
Receiving the punishments and shame
With no expectations of mercy
Acts of greed, of selfish need
Some crimes receive absolution
I've no reason to expect a thing
I'll receive no such gentle grace
With all that's happening
You must know, the end has begun
I promise you I know how I will twist
As I sway in the wind I'll be called pollution
A toxic stain upon the empire's human face
He will be broken for that I am chosen
No others are willing to conform
But I was given a command
And I consider myself a soldier
For we are at war
I have a duty to fulfill
I'm both a rebel and a fool
Kiss my rabbi and betray a man
And my deed will have been done
I've been given 30 shekels
Don't be confused, I do understand
I know this labor well that I'm about to perform
My name will be traitor for generations
But I seek no forgiveness
For I've been allowed to achieve an end
What I did was not for my benefit
But for that of the movement
I will never return home
I will be hated for millennia
But I've achieved by my one simple act
Something no other rebel or politician has
By my one act I will sow the seeds
That will destroy Rome
Forever
