In the land of the heart there's a place I wish would go away.
In the shadow of the edges there's a stubborn stain.
A child of heaven, with a King who has moved His throne inside,
but the rebel in the root still contests His reign.
War inside; dark and light within me.

On the road of intentions I'm the enemy of compromise;
No moral short-cuts do I desire.
But in the push and the shove, when the pressure really starts to rise
I drop my guard and cut the corners in the line of fire.
Divided man, how can I stand?

When there's a Judas Iscariot within me.
There's a fight inside between the beauty and the beast.
The naked truth of what I fear is that the monster is in the mirror!
Oh whatever, whatever the price, I must break free from the Judas in me!

There's a traitor in my members who would sell my soul away;
the part of me that fuels the craving for forbidden fruit.
I wanna walk in the light, but this disease just drags me down;
it's like a ball and a chain wrapped around my boot.
Divided man, how can you stand?

When there's a Judas Iscariot within me!
There's a fight inside between the beauty and the beast.
The naked truth now seems so clear the monster is in the mirror!
Oh whatever whatever the price, I must break free...

In the battle of the natures there's no easy cure;
flesh and spirit crying out to seize my castle tower.
Only innocent blood, spilling out from the holy heart of Jesus Christ,
has sufficient power to overcome in the trying hour.

To slay the Judas Iscariot within me.
To win the fight inside between the beauty and the beast.
The only ticket out of here, to heal the monster in the mirror,
I have to bow my knee to Jesus to break free, He frees us...
I have to chain myself to Jesus to break free from the Judas in me!
