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      Yeah yeah yeah   Hallowed be thy name   Yeah yeah yeah   Hallowed be thy name   Yeah
