O'er innocent blood the heavens do weep;

                                    The bowels of' hell even hiss.

                            Angels and saints, a hushed silence do keep,

                                    When friend betrays friend with a kiss.

                            Judas, or Joab... Close friend they'll betray.

                                    And think nothing wrong nor amiss.

                            But God who looks on will surely repay

                                    When friend betrays friend with a kiss,

                            O Joab, go bury your blood-guilty sword,

                                    And wonder at all you will miss.

                            Remember forever, the mercy ignored,

                                    When friend betrays friend with a kiss.

                            Go Judas, and cast forth your ill-gotten gain.

                                    Forget for all time, heaven's bliss.

                            The silver of Caiaphas buys only pain

                                    When friend betrays friend with a kiss.
