Caiaphas
We've been sitting on the fence for far too long
Annas
Why let him upset us? Ciaphas, let him be.
All those imbecils will see he really doesn't matter.
Caiaphas
But 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,
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 devided.
Annas
Then say so to the council, but don't rely on subtly.
Frighten them, or they won't see.
Caiaphas
Then we are decided?
