Hallowed Be Thy Name lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Hallowed Be Thy Name lyrics Iron Maiden Cover 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. song lyrics
