Pilate's Dream Lyrics

Artist: Jesus Christ Superstar
Album: Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack

Pilate
I dreamed I met a Galilean
A most amazing man
He had that look
You very rarely find
The haunting hunted kind

I asked him
To say what had happened
How it all began
I asked again
He never said a word
As if he hadn't heard

And next the room was full
Of wild and angry men
They seemed to hate this man
They fell on him and then disappeared

Then I saw thousands of millions
Crying for this man
And then I heard them mentioning my name
And leaving me the blame

Missing word: "They fell on him and then disappeared AGAIN"

...It's simply something of wonderful. I met this song a lot of years ago, when the film arrived in Italy and I was just a young boy. Now I'm an old guy, I'm a musician, and after about 35 years listening to it still makes me thinking, and I always feel a tear coming out of my eyes...

I'm working on this show right now as assistant stage manager, and I must say, our Pilate does a much better job than any recording that I have heard so far.

My mom plays this song on the organ, and OMG! It is so hunting because of the key she plays it in. I never get tired of hearing her play it.

I'm not even considering myself X-tian, but I DO love Jesus Christ Superstar and this one is one of the most haunting songs of it! Love It!

I first heard JC Superstar as a year 8 student at a Catholic School in Bega NSW in 1971. I has had a powerful impact on my life.

Actually, the last line of the third verse should be: "They fell on him and then, they disappeared again."

I`ve been listening to this recording for more than 30 years and I must say it is a very amazing one. The interpretation and words drive me to that specific moment and feel sorry for both JC and Pilate. It is impossible to avoid - at least- let roll a couple tears.

Gotta love the double speed guitar on the original concept album.
