Read Zech:11:12
Oh thirty pieces of silver
Why did you end up in that purse
That feigned to pay the penalty
Yet you became the betrayal money
Why did you get thrown to the potter
Why did you pretend to be the ransom money
Yes you became the money for the one who died
Not on the cross, but on the edge of a rope
Yes, oh thirty pieces of silver
You were a cause of remorsr for the one
Who betrayed his beloved one
Yet you led him to death not life
You have been blood stained
Not the pure innocent blood of the Saviour
But of remorse, of guilt - "I have betrayed,
Innocent blood" - echoes as you clang
The answer to the Why
It has all been told ahead
By prophets who foresaw
And by the One who foreknew
You did not have the choice, oh thirty pieces of silver
But the man who gave
The man who took, the man who threw
They all stand guilty
Oh thirty pieces of silver
Your descendants this bard uses too
To betray my own lover. Ashamed, wretched.
Yet not guilty. For it is not you, but the cross that matters
