Hallowed Be Thy Name lyrics

Iron Maiden Cover

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.
