Judas Be My Guide Lyrics

Lyric discussion by liv2014 

Cover art for Judas Be My Guide lyrics by Iron Maiden

based on the lyrics and other comments, i think this song almost criticises the behaviour of many people in society, only when they are in trouble do they go to God for help, but when they are doing fine, they ‘look to Judas’ and strive for wealth and other worldly things that don’t matter

@liv2014 adding onto my own interpretation… the song may also criticise how society is simply forgetting about Jesus’ love and instead chasing the negative things present in life nowadays, symbolised by Judas in the song
