I watch the brooding skies All hope is lost I'm going to end my life Upon a cross A crown of thorns I wear I writhe in pain I perish slow as a martyr And die in vain Oh my God, so dark, the nameless one Oh father please, help thy son My God, why did you leave me alone? Are you still my father? I don't want to meet a fate Of this cruel kind 'But you will die for all mankind!' Why must I sacrifice my life For other's deeds? 'There must be one scapegoat that bleeds for them!' Why does a father wish death For his own son? 'Upon the earth you were abandoned!' Oh, I can't see why all this has to be 'Trust me, for I am your God!' 'Sacrifice your flesh and blood for me!' Please answer me, what this fate will mean to me at all? I want to know for what reason I was born Only to die forsaken and forlorn? 'You will obey your father's decision!' Belated divine abortion A life without a sense Darkness now embraces me At the threshold of eternity I curse God, as heavy thunderclouds gather As an example how to die A most senseless way I will become a God on my own
