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 wanna know, I'd wanna know my God
 I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know my God
 Wanna see, I'd wanna see my God
 Wanna see, I'd wanna see my God

 Why I should die?
 Would I be more noticed than I was ever 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
 Have to know, 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, just watch me die
 See how, 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
