30 Pieces of Silver

What’s the bottom line?

Or what’s the price I’d 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 an hourglass of sand?

Or choose the riches of this mortal coil

Forego the incorruptible for praises of man

All the treasure in the world so blinding

30 pieces of silver shining

Tell me what’s the price you seek

To place the kids of death upon His cheek?

Blood money and the serpent winding

30 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 dare to 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 or the bended knee?

Vainglory or humility?

The ultimate goal

All the treasure in the world so blinding

30 pieces of silver shining

Tell me what’s the price you seek

To place the kids of death upon His cheek?

Blood money and the serpent winding

30 pieces of silver shining

Treasure fades away

Sold out for the price of slave

Treasure blinding

Silver shining
