Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
(Steve Harris)
Im waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesnt have much time
Cause at 5 oclock, they take me to the Gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low
When the priest comes to read my 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 that theres some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end? Not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that Im dreaming
Its not so easy to stop from screaming
The words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow but why am I crying?
After all, Im not afraid of dying young
Dont I believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell, God be with you
If theres a God, then why has he let me go?
As I walk, all my life drifts before me
Though the end is near, Im not sorry
Catch my soul, its willing to fly away
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
Dont worry now that I have gone
Ive gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then youll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion |
