The snakes are in the garden, swallowing down their prey
The flowers all are faded, their scent has gone away
The sky turns red under midnight, your eyes don’t look the same

The truth is out; I can see your heavy breathing
The lights are down and you’re moving out in the dark
So kiss my face, commit yourself to treason
Now run away, you broke my heart

The hours now are turning, nobody lies awake
The children all are sleeping, a lonely death dirge plays
The rope pulls tight under your weight, the nightmare ends today

You broke my heart
I hope it’s worth the price you paid
I hope it’s worth the time you gave
I hope it’s worth your life

Behind the Song:
"One of the most powerful things to me about Jesus’ life was His relationship with Judas. I’ve always been amazed with Jesus’ character, knowing one of His closest friends would ultimately be the one who gives Him up to the authorities. The opening scene in Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ” really inspired me to write a song like this. He visually mastered the feelings and attitudes that were in that garden that early morning, and I just wanted to give a voice to the emotions that had to be surging through that place when Jesus felt the kiss of His brother." - Dave Pelsue (Kids In The Way)
