Из оперы Э.Л. Вебера и Т. Райса "Jesus Christ Superstar"

I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cap away
From me for I don't waint to taste it's 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 would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wantin me to die
You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why
Allright I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See now 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 amiscared 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
