Tribute

In your honor, I raise
the chalice, the chalice of my blood
for your glory, I raise this chalice today
for the days and nights you've given me
I return to you what still makes me live
if there's a human soul within me
breathe it into a new puppet and play with it
 
accept my tribute
accept words of faith and reverence
for the mind that created sea and land
created pain and joy
created eternal hunger
made us believe that
somewhere there is an island of silence
if there's a human soul within me
breathe it into a new puppet and play with it
 
accept my tribute, accept it for
that even you won't take from me those moments
that are gone,
are no more, but they were just like she was here
who gave me faith in love, gave me faith in pain
if there's a human soul within me
breathe it into a new puppet and play with it
 
grateful that you gave me a heart sensitive to pain,
that you gave me eyes sensitive to evil,
faith that this dance can last forever,
I am grateful Lord,
that I will turn entirely into dust,
if there's a human soul within me
breathe it into a new puppet and play with it

No, I just want you to delete the first line that contains the song title just to make the translation aligned with the lyrics, nothing more or less :)
