In the garden of Gethsemane
Jesus:
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!
I'D WANNA SEE, I'D WANNA SEE 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 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 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, WHY 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
