Crucify · letra

here is your king, you bring him to me i say, "set him free!", you say you want him to die he has done nothing, nothing, nothing but you say, "crucify! crucify! crucify!" You act as though this man is inciting a rebellion no one here can prove that to be true I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges neither has herod so he sent him back to us as you can see he's done nothing, nothing nothing to deserve the things you ask I wash my hands of this man's blood!
