Petra's song 'Judas' Kiss' reflects on the pain of betrayal and disobedience from God's perspective, drawing from Luke 22:47-48. The lyrics ponder how God feels when believers stray, disobey, or turn away, comparing it to the agony of Christ's betrayal and crucifixion. The song emphasizes the weight of sin and the sorrow it brings to God, while implicitly pointing to the need for faithfulness and repentance. It is a contemplative piece that connects human unfaithfulness to the suffering of Christ, urging listeners to consider the impact of their choices on their relationship with God.

[Based on Luke 22:47, 48]
I wonder how it makes you feel when the prodigal won't come home
I wonder how it makes you feel when he'd rather be on his own
I wonder what it's like for you when a lamb has gone astray
I wonder what it's like for you when your children disobey
It must be like another thorn struck in your brow
It must be like another close friend's broken vow
It must be like another nail right through your wrist
It must be just like
Just like Judas' kiss
I wonder how it makes you feel when no one seeks your face
I wonder how it makes you feel when they give up in the race
I wonder what it's like for you when they willingly disobey
I wonder what it's like for you when they willingly walk away
