Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics

Iron Maiden

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 5 O'clock they take me to the gallows pole, yeah The sands of time for me are running low, running low
When the priest comes to read me the last rites Take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be that 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 easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears fall but why am I crying After all I'm 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 has He let me go?
As I walk my life drifts before me Though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on Don't worry now I have gone Gone beyond to seek the truth, yeah, yeah
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
Yeah, hallowed be thy name Yeah, hallowed be thy name Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
