The Ninth Hour

Father, take this cup of suffering away from me
For what lies before me is a path of pain
Father, save me from this hour
In the days of my flesh, this is my agony.

Shall I crucify your King ?
Crucify him! Crucify him!
Behold your King !
Away with him, crucify him!

Everything is now done
The will of my Father
Is me to suffer on the cross
See my blood and my scars.

Everything is now done
My only crown is made of thorns
Everything is now done
I'm going to be crucified.

They laughed at me
I've been betrayed
Accused and denied
Tortured and whipped.

They condemn me
Led me to the executioner
Lied to me, spit at my face
I've been cast into hell.

Step by step I climb to my death
The cross is heavy on my shoulder
My eyes are dry, my body's broken
My throat is burning like fire.

Step by step I climb to my destiny
At the top of the Golgotha
Where are you, all my sons ?
I walk alone under the sun.

Everything is now done
The will of my Father
Is me to suffer on the cross
See my blood and my scars.

Everything is now done
My only crown is made of thorns
Everything is now done
I'm going to be crucified.

The third hour has come
Nails have pierced my flesh
I can feel my energy
Slowly vanishing in me.

The sixth hour has come
Darkness is hiding the sun
Oh Mother, the ninth hour
Eloï, Eloï, lama sabachthani.
