Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
How can I drink this bitter drink
Swallow the pain and gulp the toil?
Even with the mouth shut, the chest remains
Silence in the city can't be heard
What's the use of being the saint's son?
Better to be the other woman's son
Another reality, less dead
So many lies, so much brute force
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
How hard it is to wake up silent
If in the hush of night I damn myself
I wanna let out an inhuman scream
That's a way to be heard
All this silence dazes me
Dazed, I stay alert
On the bleachers, ready for any moment
To see the monster from the lagoon rise
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
So fat, the sow doesn't walk anymore
So overused, the knife doesn't cut anymore
How hard it is, Father, to open the door
That word stuck in the throat
This Homeric bender in the world
What's the use of having good will?
Even silent, the mind remains
Of the drunks from downtown
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Take this chalice away from me
Maybe the world isn't small
Nor is life a done deal
I wanna invent my own sin
I wanna die from my own poison
I wanna lose your head for good!
My head lose your judgment
I wanna inhale diesel smoke
Get drunk till somebody forgets me
