Will no-one stay awake with me?
Peter? John? James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter? John? James?
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup a - way from me
For I don´t want to taste its poison -- feel it burn me
I have changed, I´m not as sure as when we started
Then I was inspired
Now I´m sad and tired
Listen, sure - ly I´ve exceeded expectations
Tried for three years -- seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I´d wanna know I´d wanna know my God
I´d wanna see I´d wanna see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I´ve said and done matter any more?
I´d have to know I´d have to know my Lord
I´d have to see I´d have to see my Lord
If I die what would be my reward?
If I die what would be my reward?
I´d have to know I´d have to know my Lord
I´d have to know I´d have to know my Lord
Why should I die? Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there´s a reason for your wanting me to die
You´re far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why
( )
Alright I´ll die! Just watch me die
See how I die! See how I die
( )
Then I was inspired, now I´m sad and tired
After all, I´ve tried for three years seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started -- I didn´t start it
God, thy will is hard but you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me, bleed me, beat me
Kill me -- take me now before I change my mind
