“Damned for All Time” (The Story of Judas)
Damned for all time! (Crowd chant)
(Verse 1)
He walked in the circle, he knew the signs
Spoke like a brother but carried lies
A heart divided, a secret scheme
Smiling face with a darker dream
Silver whispers, pockets lined
A soul for sale, a crooked mind
Even close to the Holy One
He chose the night, he chose to run
(Chorus)
Damned for all time, a name etched in shame
Thirty silver coins, the price of his game
He sold the truth for a fleeting gain
Damned for all time, by his own chain
(Verse 2)
At the table, he took the bread
But his heart was cold, his spirit dead
“Do what you must, and do it fast”
The moment came, the die was cast
He kissed the Lord beneath the trees
The sign of love turned into deceit
The soldiers came, the darkness fell
The weight of treason rang like a bell
(Chorus)
Damned for all time, a name etched in shame
Thirty silver coins, the price of his game
He sold the truth for a fleeting gain
Damned for all time, by his own chain
(Bridge)
Remorse was bitter, the silver burned
But there was no peace, no hope returned
The field of blood still bears his name
A legacy of loss, a mark of blame
(Final Chorus)
Damned for all time, a name etched in shame
Thirty silver coins, the price of his game
He chose deceit, he chose the night
Turned from the love, turned from the Light
Damned for all time, the story remains
A soul undone by his own chains
(Outro)
He walked with Jesus, but fell away
The cost of lies still speaks today
Damned for all time, the warning’s clear
Guard your heart, for the end is near
