Strike me down
Give me everything you've got
Strike me down
I'll be everything I'm not

Count the questions on one hand you don't ask me what I planned
Strike me down
Should have asked me what went wrong
Strike me down
Should have stayed away too long

Strike me down
Give it everything you've got
Chance me now I'll be everything I'm not
Hope's the child of what luck brings

Points the faith in higher things
Ask me now fire at everything at once
Strike me down
Take it anyway you want

Strike me down
Better left it all unknown
Strike me down
Should have left it all alone

Wash the questions off my hands
I'm the fate in no-one plans
Strike me down
Give it everything you've got
Strike me down
I'll be everything I'm not

    I've always kind of wondered if this song is a portrayal of the death of Christ. The imagery's certainly there.
