(Verse 1)
Pilate, wanting to satisfy
Had Jesus flogged and sent to be crucified
The soldiers lead him away
Took it in turn to mock his name
"Hail king of the Jews"
Again and again and again
They struck His head and spat on Him
And on his head they placed
A crown of thorns

(Chorus)
The thorns dug deep, as the blood flowed free
But they mocked him more, falling on their knees
Have you ever thought, that these men where you?
Shouting over and over again
"Hail king of the Jews".

(Verse 2)
You, wanting to satisfy
Had Jesus flogged and sent to be crucified
You lead Him away
Took it in turns to mock His name
"Hail king of the Jews".
Again and again and again
You struck His head and spat on Him
And on His head you placed and crown of thorns

(Chorus 2)
The thorns dug deep, as the blood flowed free
But you mocked Him more, falling on your knees
Oh yes you know, that these men where you
Shouting over again
"Hail king on the Jews".
Let me hear you "hail".

(Repeat chorus 2)
