Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics

I'm waiting in my cold cell as the bells begin to chime

Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much

time

'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole

The sands of time for me are running low

Running low, yeah



When the priest's come 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 been some sort of an error

Hard to stop the surmounting terror

Is it really the end not some crazy dream



Somebody please tell me I'm dreaming

It's not easy to stop from screaming

The words escape me when I try to speak



Tears they flow but why am I crying?

After all am I not afraid of dying

Don't I believe that there never is an end?



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 does he let me die?



As I walk all my life drifts before me

Though the end is near I'm not sorry

Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away



Mark my words, believe my soul lives on

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



Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Hallowed be Thy name

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Hallowed be Thy name
