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 
I'd want to see 
I'd want to see my God 
I'd 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 
I'd have to know 
I'd have to know my Lord 
I'd have to see 
I'd have to see my Lord 
I'd 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? 
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, 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 your wanting me to die 
You're far too keen on where and how 
But not so hot on why 
Alright I'll die! 
Just watch me die! 
See how, see how I die! 
Oh, just watch me 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
