I'm waiting in my cold cell as the bells begin 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
Running low, yeah
When the priest's come 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 I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
The 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
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why does he let me die?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
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
