Judas

About this song

The lead single from Fozzy's album of the same name, it was released on May 3, days after vocalist Chris Jericho was written out of WWE television again. It later became one of the theme songs for WWE's NXT Takeover: Chicago show. After his WWE release, Jericho adopted it as his entrance theme.

What it's about

The song tells the story of a man who becomes a monster through his actions, betraying and manipulating people who trusted him deeply and comparing himself to Judas Iscariot. Though he still puts on a tough front, he regrets what he has done and the way it has pushed everyone away.
