Rae Peltier - Thirty Silver Lies Lyrics

I walked beside you hand in hand
Saw the miracles heard your plan
But the whispers in the shadows called my name
The weight of greed lit a darker flame

The silver burned, it scorched my skin
A deal was struck; the sin begins
They said Just a kiss, just a name
Your soul's the cost, to stake the claim

Oh Judas oh Judas what have you done
You sold out the Savior the Holy One
For thirty coins you sealed His fate
Now the heavens cry as love turns to hate
The kiss of death the bitter sound
The weight of your guilt it pulls you down

Oh ohhhh

The garden was still, the stars held their breath
I led them there the path to death
I saw His eyes, they pierced my soul
A love so deep, I'd never known

The soldiers came, the chains were drawn
I kissed His cheek, and the world was torn
He didn't fight He didn't run
He stood in silence-He was the One

Oh Judas oh Judas what have you done
You sold out the Savior the Holy One
For thirty coins you sealed His fate
Now the heavens cry as love turns to hate
The kiss of death the bitter sound
The weight of your guilt it pulls you down

I hear the echoes, what have you done

You sold out the Savior the Holy One
For thirty coins you sealed His fate
Now the heavens cry as love turns to hate
The kiss of death the bitter sound
The weight of your guilt, it pulls you down

Can't undo it can't take it back
The cross ahead my soul turns black
He forgave me before I even knew
But the shame runs deep-what can I do

Oh Judas oh Judas what have you done
You sold out the Savior the Holy One
For thirty coins you sealed His fate
Now the heavens cry as love turns to hate
The kiss of death the bitter sound
The weight of your guilt it pulls you down

Now the silver falls, clattering to the floor
A symbol of love, I'll know no more
Hanging by a thread, I face my cost
In my betrayal all was lost

Oh Judas oh Judas the pain won't fade
The price was paid but my soul's enslaved
A kiss of death a crown of thorns
The Son of God for my greed was scorned

All alone
