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 (2x)
Want to see, I'd want to see, My God (2x)
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 (2x)
If I die what will be my reward? (2x)
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord (2x)
Why should I die? (2x)
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 to keen and where and how, but not so hot on why
Alright, I'll die
See how I 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
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
