Jesus Christ Superstar Gethsemance (Jesus Crist Aria)

Текст песни "Jesus Christ Superstar — Gethsemance (Jesus Crist Aria)"

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 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!
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, have to know, my Lord!
Have to know, have to know, my Lord!

Wha-ah-ah-y should I die?
Oh-uh-ah-ah, 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! A-a-ah-ah, just, just watch me die!
See-ee-ee how, see how I die! Oh, yeh, see how I die!

(Orchestra interlude)

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...
