The Damnation Of Judas And The Salvation Of The Thief Lyrics - Vengeance Rising

Let us now look upon, a situation from to learn 

Judas and the thief, one to heaven, one to burn 

Not too long ago, and in a land not far away 

One was saved one was lost, this is history 

Judas was religious, stay away from that mask 

The thief was truly guilty, and here is where it's at 

Once you understand that, guilty before God all we are 

You can receive forgiveness, in repentance at the cross 

Judas was never a true friend, just pushing his own glory 

Smiling in your face, stabbing you in the back, "doing this for God" is his 

Story 

Sitting on that paper throne, elevated oh so high 

Well now the match's been lit, later days to the empire of lies

The thief on the other hand knew a wrong from a right 

Doing wrong much of the time and sometimes doing right 

But he recognized the truth when he spoke to Jesus Christ 

His deeds had nothing to do with it, he'd never earn heaven as a right 

The damnation of Judas and the Salvation of the thief 

As for Judas in the scheme of things, as this point it's just a matter of 

Time 

Hanging from the rope he spoke, the witness does not lie 

The facts are in and the veredicts out - and it cannot be denied 

He sealed his fate with and act of friendship - betrayer - no friend of mine 

The thief in the situation, knowing he deserved to die 

Called out to Immanuel, Lord remember I 

I come to you, with nothing more than the wretched man I am 

Guilty in my iniquities deserving only to be damned

It's for your sins I am Crucified, the Spirit confirmed time and again 

The thief in his pain had joy in his heart - forgiveness it was his 

On his way to heaven he still had to deal the situation 

Understand that you bring nothing in repentance which merits salvation 

The damnation of Judas and the Salvation of the thief
