Take this chalice away from me
Is there no one awake
In the hour of my misery (Take this chaliceaway)
The hour of the dark this hour
(Of pain)
Ive been their wonder child
Now my world isturning to dust
Ive been their shining star
Now as its 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 timeis almost through
And I have played my part
The crowds have turntheir 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 Ive never really been
among you living beings
beings
Solo
Take this chalice way 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)
