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)
I’ve been their wonder child Now my world isturning 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 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 I’ve 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)
