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 want to know, I want to know, my God I want to know, I want to know, my God Want to see, I want to see, my God Want to see, I 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 anymore? 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 would be my reward? If I die what would be my reward? Have to know, have to know, my Lord Have to know, have to know, my Lord 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 Oh you're far too keen and where and how, but not so hot on why Alright, I will 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 tried for three years It 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 Now, before I change my mind
