(very old recording)

LYRICS: 
you can call me "your betrayer"
you can call me by my name
but either way, I have to say, 
it all ends up the same

I cannot be your shepherd
and I will not be your sheep
the Good Lord told me:
drink whatever lays you down to sleep

you were stronger than the brazen bull
as heavy as the hills
braver than the best of men
but weaker than your will

they found you and they bound you
but for what it's worth, I swear
I mean it, when I say I hate
the way they cut your hair

I cannot be your shepherd
and I will not be your sheep
the Judas Goat it walks the rope
and leaves the rest to bleat

and on that night I sang to you 
the words I'd never speak
I'd never been so foolish,
but you never were so weak

you were crying out your secrets
I was crying out your name
well the whole damn world is crying now
and I'm the one they blame

but I am nobody's shepherd 
and you chose to play the sheep
but the Judas Goat that caught the rope
is keeping me from sleep

sightless then, you saw me
and I called to you by name
(right before the pillars fell)
I heard you do the same.

the price is high for vengeance 
it's the blood that soaked the bone
side by side, alike in shame
we are buried in this stone

and all those kings and princes
who were tearing us apart 
their silver clouds their judgement
and gold weighs down their heart

you can call me "your betrayer,"
you can call me by my name
but either way, I have to say, 
it all turns out the same

I cannot be your shepherd
and I will not be your sheep
the Good Lord said to 
drink whatever lays me down to sleep

I could not be your shepherd
I would not be your sheep
the Good Lord bid me 
drink whatever lays me down to sleep
