I only want to say, if there is a way

Take this cup away 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, surely 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 want to know, I'd want to know, my God

I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God

Want to see, I'd want to see, my God

Want to see, I'd want to 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

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

 

If I die what will be my reward?

If I die what will be my reward?

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? Oh, 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 you're wanting me to die

You're far to keen and where and how but not so hot on why

 

Alright, I'll die, just watch me 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
