I only want to say

If there is away

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 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

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!

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 the cross and break me

Bleed me beat me kill me take me now – before I change my mind

There he is! They're all a sleep – the fools!

Judas – must you betray me with a kiss?

What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening

Hang on Lord we're gonna fight for you

Put away your sword

Don't you know that it's all over?

It was nice but now it's gone

Why are you obsessed with fighting?

Stick to fishing from now on

Tell me Christ how you feel tonight

Do you plan to put up a fight?

Do you feel that you've had the breaks?

What would you say were your big mistakes?

Do you think that you may retire?

Did you think you would get much higher?

How do you view your coming trial?

Have your men proved at all worthwhile?

Come with us to see Caiaphas

You'll just love the High Priest's house

You'll just love seeing Caiaphas

You'll just die in the High Priest's house

Come on God this is not like you

Let us know what you're gonna do

You know what your supporters feel

You'll escape in the final reel

Tell me Christ how you feel tonight

Do you plan to put up a fight?

Do you feel that you've had the breaks?

What would you say were your big mistakes?

Come with us to age Caiaphas

You'll just love the High Priest's house

You'll just love seeing Caiaphas

You'll just die in High Priest's house

Now we have him! Now we have got him!

Jesus you must realise the serious charges facing you

You say you're the Son of God in all your handouts – well is it true?

That's what you say – you say that I am

There you have it gentlemen -

What more evidence do we need?

Judas thank you for the victim -

Stay a while and you'll see it bleed?

Now we hare him! Now we have got him!

Take him to Pilate!

I think I've seen you somewhere -

I remember

You were with that man they took away

I recognise your face

You've got the wrong man lady

I don't know him

And I wasn't where he was tonight -

Never near the place

That's strange for I am sure I saw you with him

You were right by his side and yet you denied -

I tell you I was never with him

But I saw you too – it looked just like you

I don't know him!

Peter – don't you know what you have said

You've gone and cut him dead

I had to do it don't you see?

Or else they'd go for me

It's what he told us you would do -

I wonder how he knew ...
