John is my name, this lonely desert, my home.<br/> Silence, hunger and cold 'r the company I need.<br/> <br/> Wake up, I've got a dream,<br/> I bring the news<br/> That ye were waiting!<br/> <br/> The water of the Jordan<br/> Will wash away<br/> The sins of Galilee.<br/> <br/> Don't call me prophet!<br/> Why can't you see?<br/> I'm just a messenger,<br/> <br/> Harp hanging from a tree.<br/> Elijah's voice,<br/> Crying in the desert.<br/> <br/> With many names they have called me<br/> But still they don't want to see.<br/> I bring the news of the greatest change and<br/> They just see water in my hand.<br/> <br/> Wake up, a man is coming,<br/> A special one,<br/> With fire he'll finish<br/> <br/> What I just began.<br/> He'll grow a forest,<br/> Where I left some seeds.<br/> <br/> With many names they have called me<br/> But still they don't want to see.<br/> I bring the news of the greatest change and<br/> They just see water in my hand.<br/> <br/> Oh my Lord, to set them free<br/> I've tried so many ways,<br/> I've warned and prayed<br/> Cried and waited,<br/> Bended on my knee.<br/> <br/> A new time is coming soon,<br/> Plenty of signs around me.<br/> A cross is ready up the hill for the man<br/> Who can forgive what I can't.<br/> <br/> A new time is coming soon,<br/> That I will never see.<br/> The price paid for a dance under the moon<br/> My head on plate, will be.<br/> <br/> Thanks, Salome...

The two men look at each other,<br/> Both have a role in this story,<br/> But one of them won't understand.<br/> Fate curious irony.<br/> <br/> Once my wife dreamed of you,<br/> I wondered what it'd mean.<br/> But no fault I've seen,<br/> Into your words.<br/> <br/> Pilatus, governor, listen to us!<br/> We are the priests of Jerusalem,<br/> Has to die, this blasphemous man<br/> Who shamelessly swears curses and lies!<br/> <br/> He's here to keep peace,<br/> The peace of Rome.<br/> Peace at any cost.<br/> Always.<br/> <br/> People of Galilee,<br/> Pick one to save.<br/> For one that'll be free,<br/> One'll die.<br/> <br/> He's here to keep peace,<br/> The peace of Rome.<br/> Peace at any cost.<br/> Always.<br/> <br/> What is your choice?<br/> Jesus the King,<br/> Or this Barabbas<br/> The thief?<br/> <br/> The will of these people is clear,<br/> There's nothing more he can do.<br/> The crowd claims the life of this man<br/> No reason to say "no".<br/> <br/> Blood ran through his hands many times<br/> But this one burns like fire would.<br/> Water won't wash away this mark<br/> No, nothing now it could!

Who says you can always pick your path<br/> Has never been on a battle field<br/> Sometimes there isn't a real choice<br/> If you are David or Goliath<br/> Isn't up to you.<br/> <br/> Time passes by and leaves just sand<br/> Fading memories of men and lives<br/> Heroes out of the shadows of time<br/> Tiny men shaking like autumn leaves.<br/> <br/> So may happen that a shepherd<br/> Talks too much and falls in trouble<br/> Marks the story<br/> Kills a giant,<br/> Find his glory!<br/> <br/> A man in a shining armor,<br/> A giant spreading fear!<br/> Soldiers running, shame on Israel!<br/> <br/> But a young shepherd defends his flock.<br/> Hunter of lions and wolves,<br/> Isn't a giant just another man?<br/> <br/> Doesn't he wear a blade?<br/> Doesn't he fear his arm?<br/> Oh, David is young!<br/> <br/> Doesn't he wear a blade?<br/> Doesn't he fear his arm?<br/> Oh, David is brave!<br/> <br/> Eyes of a giant cannot see<br/> Pride pays a fee<br/> David is smart, David is fast<br/> Heavy is the sword<br/> Quick is the dart<br/> <br/> Silence around<br/> Goliath stands<br/> Slowly he moves<br/> Then closes his eyes<br/> <br/> Eyes of a giant cannot see<br/> Pride pays a fee<br/> David is smart, David is fast<br/> Heavy is the sword<br/> Quick is the dart<br/> <br/> Now lies the warrior on his knees<br/> And none believes<br/> Now lies the giant on his fours<br/> Soldiers cannot breath.<br/> <br/> One in the sand in his own blood<br/> One in the air<br/> Raises the envy of a king,<br/> A new story begins.

Sand moved by the hand of God<br/> Shakes those worn tents<br/> Sleeps the scared tribe of Israel<br/> With both eyes searching the darkness.<br/> <br/> Poor memories packed with love,<br/> Men and goats, same fear.<br/> Stands in the wind, Aaron the Levite,<br/> Looks at his brother across the night.<br/> <br/> Half freedom is nothing but slavery.<br/> Seven times, Egypt they wounded.<br/> But bloody rivers, snakes or sticks,<br/> It's just a trick.<br/> <br/> Blind men walking towards nowhere,<br/> Now, we are talking 'bout magic.<br/> A promised land they'll never see.<br/> And this is faith.<br/> <br/> Faith that guides the steps<br/> Faith against any hope<br/> Faith against reasons<br/> In a promise that will be kept<br/> <br/> Cruel Egypt seeking revenge<br/> No way back, no more.<br/> What a hard duty to be free,<br/> This freezing desert all what you get.<br/> <br/> I've seen the sand of Palestine<br/> I've seen the Jordan<br/> The fruits the fields, the land of Cain.<br/> And forty years of hunger and pain.<br/> <br/> Yes, God spoke to me, one day,<br/> He showed the way.<br/> But I'm a man with no certainty.<br/> And they have only one, they've me.<br/> <br/> Faith that guides the steps<br/> Faith against any hope<br/> Faith against reasons<br/> In a promise that will be kept

It's beautiful,<br/> Look, how it shines!<br/> Not just a coin:<br/> It's silver.<br/> It is the price <br/> Of a human life<br/> Look, how it shines!<br/> <br/> Between the trees,<br/> A little man cries,<br/> Shadows on his face<br/> Empty eyes.<br/> Accomplished destiny,<br/> Someway we can say.<br/> A little man cries.<br/> <br/> Thirty coins,<br/> Shining silver<br/> Thrown in the air by Juda's hand.<br/> <br/> Last night dinner,<br/> We knew he was lost<br/> Soldiers all around.<br/> He was lost.<br/> He looked at us,<br/> Deep into our souls,<br/> Little weak things.<br/> <br/> It was written<br/> Someone would betray.<br/> A kiss like a mark.<br/> That same is he!<br/> Just I can't see,<br/> Since all he knew,<br/> Why not to stop me.<br/> <br/> Where can I hide?<br/> How to forget<br/> The days I spent<br/> On his side?<br/> <br/> I can stand hate<br/> But not those eyes,<br/> All that forgiveness<br/> So much love.<br/> <br/> Where can I hide?<br/> How to forget<br/> The days I spent<br/> On his side?<br/> <br/> Death is silence,<br/> Eternal regret.<br/> The last escape,<br/> Without peace.<br/> Not far away,<br/> Thirty silver coins<br/> Paid a cross of pain.

I wonder what my father would say today,<br/> If he could see me in this weird place.<br/> He that never went a mile away,<br/> He that never left his land nor his boat.<br/> <br/> My bones are stiff, my beard is long and gray,<br/> My tired eyes confuse shadows and lights.<br/> Still with iron chains they tied my wrists.<br/> How much can an old man scare an empire!<br/> <br/> Chains have no power<br/> Won't stop his words<br/> Won't stop thoughts from running away.<br/> <br/> Outside the sun shines<br/> The old man smiles<br/> And closes his eyes.<br/> <br/> I went so far away!<br/> No fisherman ever<br/> Made such a long way.<br/> Nets are too heavy,<br/> To catch bigger fish, you need to fly.<br/> <br/> Painfully, sits the old men on the floor<br/> Passes the spring through the air.<br/> <br/> They build a cross,<br/> They think is funny.<br/> An honor that I don't deserve.<br/> The day is sunny<br/> I pity them<br/> For all what they miss.<br/> <br/> "Kephas is your name"<br/> This once he said<br/> "And on this stone something we'll build"<br/> I wish I had known<br/> Heavy is the weight<br/> A stone has to hold.<br/> <br/> Iron and walls<br/> To bury an idea<br/> Iron and walls<br/> For an old man<br/> Who smiles, closes his eyes and flies away<br/> <br/> So many friends are waiting for me out there<br/> Death does not scare me, why should She?<br/> Sometimes I can't remember the faces<br/> But their words are still with me.<br/> <br/> Bit of pain doesn't count<br/> When time has come.<br/> I just hope he has forgotten<br/> Now that time has gone<br/> Three "no" of fear<br/> I said on that mount.<br/> <br/> Iron and walls<br/> To bury an idea<br/> Iron and walls<br/> For an old man<br/> Who can fly away...
