Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
'Cause at five o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Running low
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Can it be that there's some sort of an error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
[Verse 4]
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
[Verse 5]
Tears flow but why am I crying?
After all, I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
[Verse 6]
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you!"
If there's a God then why has he let me down?
[Verse 7]
As I walk, my life drifts before me
And though the end is near, I'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away
[Verse 8]
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Don't go and worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
[Verse 9]
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
[Verse 10]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah
