lyrics

The dust returns to this barren ground, its years away from rain.
And in the night when the church bells call, the young men cry.
There's thirty pieces of silver now,
And three kisses from a traitor and how
How must I, I carry on?

Now in this place that the world forgot, one rich man stands a grinning.
For in the night when the church bells called, they'd brought him all that they had.
There's thirty pieces of silver now,
And three kisses from a traitor and how
How must I, I carry on?

“Oh pray for the rain to come” said he, from his sad and lonely throne.
“And dare ye not to sin” said he, “to the fires of hell you must go.”
There's thirty pieces of silver now,
And three kisses from a traitor and how
How must I, I carry on?

The day did come when the rain did fall, with a loud and mighty roar.
And the shades of death bore his soul away, and the church bells called no more.
There's thirty pieces of silver now,
And three kisses from a traitor and how
How must I, I carry on?
How must I, I carry on?
