Hallowed Be Thy Name (iron Maiden Cover) Lyrics

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 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.
