Andrew Lloyd Webber - Then We Are Decided Lyrics

Complimentary "Then We Are Decided" Ringtone

CAIAPHAS 
We've been sitting on the fence for far too long. 

ANNAS 
Why let him upset us? 
Caiaphas, let him be. 
All those imbeciles will see 
He really doesn't matter. 

CAIAPHAS 
Jesus is important. 
We've let him go his way before 
And while he starts a major war, 
We theorize and chatter. 

ANNAS 
He's just another 
Scripture-thumping hack 
From Galilee! 

CAIAPHAS 
The difference is they call him King! 
The difference frightens me! 
What about the Romans? 
When they see King Jesus crowned 
Do you think they'll stand around, 
Cheering and applauding? 
What about our people? 
If they see we've lost our nerve 
Don't you think that they deserve 
Something more rewarding? 

ANNAS 
They've got what they want. 
They think so, anyway. 
If he's what they want; 
Why take their toy away? 
He's a craze! 

CAIAPHAS 
Put yourself in my place! 
I can hardly step aside! 
I cannot let my hands be tied! 
I am law and order! 
What about our priesthood? 
Don't you see that we could fall? 
If we are to last at all, 
We cannot be divided! 

ANNAS 
Then say so to the council. 
But don't rely on subtlety. 
Frighten them, or they won't see... 

CAIAPHAS 
Then we are decided? 

ANNAS 
Then we are decided
