Judas Be My Guide Lyrics
Lights out - We live in a world
of darkness
No doubt - Everything's up for sale
We sleep - All of the world is burning
We pray - To god for a better deal
Nothing is sacred - Back then or now
Everything's wasted...
Is that all there is?
Can I go now?
Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide
Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory
Come home - Meat in a plastic sack
Fall down - Better pray to your God
for mercy
So kneel - and help the blade cut clean
Nothing is sacred - Back then or now
Everyone's wasted...
Is that all there is?
Is that it now?
I live in the black
I have no guiding light
I'm whispering in your dreams...
Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide
Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide
of darkness
No doubt - Everything's up for sale
We sleep - All of the world is burning
We pray - To god for a better deal
Nothing is sacred - Back then or now
Everything's wasted...
Is that all there is?
Can I go now?
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide
Come home - Meat in a plastic sack
Fall down - Better pray to your God
for mercy
So kneel - and help the blade cut clean
Nothing is sacred - Back then or now
Everyone's wasted...
Is that all there is?
Is that it now?
I have no guiding light
I'm whispering in your dreams...
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide

The following lines are, in my opinion, key here-- "Everything's up for sale", "Nothing is sacred, back then or now", alluding to the vanity of today's world. Judas may be a symbol for that vanity, having commited the ultimate vanity in betraying the son of God for a handful of money. People today are lead by vanity, they have no other "guiding light", like the song says.
Good answers guys. I was afraid people would start going how Maiden is atheist.
A world filled with people who don't listen to the voice of God is lost and another revolution led by Judas is the only way to establish his Kingdom again. Hence, Judas Be My Guide.

One of the highlights of Fear of the Dark...excellent melodies.
This song could also be a tribute to "Judas Priest", one of the leading bands in The New Wave of British Heavy Metal, from which Maiden found much of their inspiration. Good song.
wow the church would just LOVe the name of this song
love this song, other than the chorus i don't understand what judas has to do with it
I think this song is really just about being lead to follow the wrong path. Or a person who has no direction in there life so they just follow what the 1st thing there told to do.
I've noticed how educated IM and metal fans are compared to fans of almost any other genre...just thought I'd put that out there. Too many people make misconceptions about metal and IM...when I just wish they'd play it on the radio instead of this Metallica everything in E Minor bullshit!
