Ceremonial Oath Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics

Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics

[lyrics: Harris. Originally performed by 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

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.
