You may have heard the new Lady Gaga song called Judas. I was raised a buddhist, so I don't know much about the bible. Can anyone explain to me what is the significance of Judas? In the lyrics of the song, she says: I couldn't love a man so purely, even darkness forgave his crooked way, I've learned love is like a brick, you can build a house or sink a dead body i'll bring him down, a king with no crown

Judas was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, who betrayed him and sold him to the authority. I don't listen to Lady Gaga. so I don't really know the song and how she made the connection. From the few lines you have written, the song does not seem to make much sense.

He couldn't live with what he did later, and no one would forgive. Then he Hung himself.
