Hallowed Be Thy Name |
| I’m waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime |
| Reflecting on my past life and it doesn’t have much time |
| Cos at 5 o’clock they take me to the Gallows Pole |
| The sands of time for me are running low |
| When the priest comes to read me the last rites |
| I take a look through the bars at the last sights |
| Of a world that has gone very wrong for me |
| Can it be there’s some sort of error |
| Hard to stop the surmounting terror |
| Is it really the end not some crazy dream |
| Somebody please tell me that I’m dreaming |
| It’s not so easy to stop from screaming |
| But words escape me when I try to speak |
| Tears they flow but why am I crying |
| After all I am not afraid of dying |
| Don’t believe that there is never an end |
| As the guards march me out to the courtyard |
| Someone calls from a cell «God be with you» |
| If there’s a God then why has he let me die? |
| As I walk all my life drifts before me |
| And though the end is near I’m not sorry |
| Catch my soul cos it’s willing to fly away |
| Mark my words please believe my soul lives on |
| Please don’t worry now that I have gone |
| I’ve gone beyond to see the truth |
| When you know that your time is close at hand |
| Maybe then you’ll begin to understand |
| Life down there is just a strange illusion |
