Are you?

Looked like pendulum swinging to and fro,

Looked like pendulum swinging to and fro,

Are you the morning shine,

Or the sunset glow?

Swaying along with the wind,

Swaying along with the wind,

Are you an elixir,

Or a poisonous weed?

Perching on the tip of a branch,

Perching on the tip of a branch,

Are you a dead leaf,

or a butterfly?

With the Bible in one hand,

With the sword in the other hand,

Are you a saint

Or an executioner?

Your eyes show something,

Like honest;

Your eyes show something,

Like unstable.

Are you Judas?

Are you not Judas?

You are Judas,

You are not Judas.

…………

…………

You are Judas!

….

(Translated from Mandarin by Lee Kuei–shien)
