Gethsemane [Japanese translation]

[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 (2x)

I'd wanna see I'd wanna 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 anymore?

I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord (2x)

I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord (2x)

If I die what will be my reward? (2x)

I'd 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 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 your cross and break me

Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now -

Before I change my mind
