Oh!
What's the bottom line?
Or what's the price I take to leave it all behind
To trade a cross of shame for glory of mankind
To sell a crown of life for pennies on the dime
And trade eternity for one moment in time?
For if the key to life is right here in my hand
Why would I trade it for a hour glass of sand
Or choose the riches of this mortal coil
Forgot the incorruptible for praises of man
All the treasure in the world so blinding
Thirty pieces of silver shining
Tell me what's the price you seek
To place the kiss of death upon His cheek?
Love of money and serpents winding
Thirty pieces of silver shining
Treasure fades away
What a price to pay, anyway.
What's the price you've named?
Well, is it money, power, acceptance, or fame
And will you sell out for a temporary gain
Or can't you stand up undeterred and unashamed
And let the glory fall to whomever it may?
When all the world is asking you to sell your soul
And to deny the cross for silver and for gold
The kiss of Judas on the bended knee
Fame, glory, or humility, the ultimate goal
All the treasure in the world so blinding
Thirty pieces of silver shining
Tell me what's the price you seek
To place the kiss of death upon His cheek?
Love of money and serpents winding
Thirty pieces of silver shining
Treasure fades away
Sold out for the price of a slave
The price of a slave, whoooaoaoaoa-ahh!
