Gethsemane Lyrics

Gethsemane lyrics

[D'Orlando / Cecconi]



"Stay you here and watch with me"



Drink my blood

Eat my body

In memory of me



Take this chalice away from me

Is there no one awake

In the hour of my misery (Take this chalice away)?

The hour of the dark this hour

(Of pain)



I've been their wonder child

Now my world is turning to dust

I've been their shining star

Now as it's over



They are sleeping

They are sleeping

They closed their eyes

As the end of me closes in

They are sleeping



Take this chalice away from me

Is it true

They know not what they do to me?

(They know what they do)

This silence is a thorn in my heart

This silence

(That kills)



So far I have been strong

Now I feel my time is almost through

And I have played my part

The crowds have turn their back to me



They are sleeping

They are sleeping

They closed their eyes

As the end of me closes in

They are sleeping



Open your eyes it will be late

When you all wake up

You will be lost

You will despair when I am gone

Like I've never really been

Among you living beings

Beings



Take this chalice away from me

Is there no one awake while I shed my tears?

(The last in this world)

In this hour of pain

Take this chalice away

(Take this chalice away)
