Verse

Why do I walk this path I travel on?

And why do I walk it alone?

Why do my tears role down my body?

And why’s my body cold as stone?

Why are the soldiers slowly creeping?

I lift my head up to the sky. Well,

Why do I see my mother weeping?

My lord has brought me here to die.

Chorus

[2x]

Well, well there’s these people that I must offend, because they

don’t know where to go, and I don’t know how it ends.

Interlude

Verse 2

I know my knees are probably shaking.

(well) I have good reason for my fear.

This chosen journey I am taking.

In just three hours I’ll die here.

You lie me down but I don’t struggle.

You nail me down to my tree.

With just three bangs I was hanging.

Why has my lord done this to me.

(Chorus)

Bridge

Can you see me cry? (and) I’ll just hang here while I do.

Can you see me die? I have done this all for you.
