Judas.

I shiver under the weight of all my sins;
I who have betrayed you.

Tears swell and burn and fall away
As fists and skull pound against brick.

Who can hope who has denied all hope?
Who can survive the uncovering of his secret shame?

I tremble because of the knowledge of my filth;
I who have betrayed you.

I have bowed down before the Golden Idol;
I have exchanged the truth for a lie;
I have bound up my heart in the blind folly of passion;
My tongue have I inflamed against you.

I shrink before your glory, Love,
I who have betrayed you.
