Lyrics
0:13I'm waiting in my cold cell
0:20When the bell begins to chime
0:27Reflecting on my past life
0:34And it doesn't have much time
0:41'Cause at 5 o'clock they'll take me to the gallows pole
0:55The sands of time for me are running low
1:18Running low oh yeah
1:46When the priest comes to read me the last rites
1:49I take a look through the bars at the last sights
1:51Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
1:56Can it be that there's some sort of error
1:58Hard to stop the surmounting terror
2:00Is it really the end not some crazy dream
2:05Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
2:07It's not easy to stop from screaming
2:10But words escape me when I try to speak
2:15Tears fall but why am I crying
2:17After all I'm not afraid of dying
2:19Do not believe that there never is an end
3:19As the guards march me out to the courtyard
3:21Somebody cries from a cell God be with you
3:24If there's a God
3:25Then why has he let me go go go
3:28As I walk my life drifts before me
3:31Though the end is near I'm not sorry
3:33Catch my soul it's willing to fly away
3:37Mark my words believe my soul lives on
3:40Don't worry now that I have gone
3:42I've gone beyond to see the truth truth truth
3:47When you know that your time is close at hand
3:49Maybe then you'll begin to understand
3:51Life down here is just a strange illusion
6:34Yeah yeah yeah
6:39Hallowed be thy name
6:43Yeah yeah yeah
6:47Hallowed 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'll take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low Running low oh yeah 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 that 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 easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears fall but why am I crying After all I'm not afraid of dying Do not 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 has he let me go go go As I walk my life drifts before me Though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul 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 truth truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah yeah yeah Hallowed be thy name Yeah yeah yeah Hallowed be thy name
