about

Judas reflects on an experience of religious indoctrination. Judas is the third single from Natalie Fideler’s upcoming record, Three Man Army.

lyrics

Judas hung by a thread
Dangling feet just above your head
And he said, “From what I see,
You’re so guilty.”
And Judas, I heard him say,
“The lord thinks that I am the one to betray,
But it seems that I may be the lesser of evils.”

And if he said to the preacher man,
“Forgive me, for I have sinned.”
He’d be forgiven in the blink of an eye,
And that’s more than I can say for you

All god’s sheep have the sharpest teeth
Condemn you for loving me
Revel in misogyny
You drove me down to hell with my mouth under your hand
All god’s sheep have the sharpest teeth
Casting stone while they can’t see
Flaunt salvation for the free
But only if you look exactly like them

Jesus never said,
“Separate kids from their mother’s own hand
Just because they’re from a distant, far off land.”
And Jesus never did say,
“Stone ‘em to death just because they’re gay.”
But it seems you wouldn’t have it
Any other way

And as we’re out here living it up in hell
There’s only one fight to lose
To live a life of love and peace and truth
Or lie down in a cross-ridden grave

Baptized from birth to adulthood
But never stopping to ask why
How could I ever be a part of you
If the heart of me is something you’d let die?

about

Natalie Fideler Minneapolis, Minnesota

Natalie's music tastefully embodies the intersections of saccharine nerd rock, 90s female angst, and a singer-songwriter sensibility. Her funky fresh mix of pop, alt rock, and R&B will leave you dancing and ripping your heart out at the same time. Her vulnerable lyrics transform each song into a story that speaks the truth of raw human experience whether it be tongue in cheek or right on the nose. ... more
