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 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 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 that I´m dreaming It´s not easy to stop from screaming But 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 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 ´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
