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 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 that I'm dreaming

It's not easy to stop from screaming

But 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 believe that there never is 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 '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

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 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 that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But 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 believe that there never is 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 '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
