Lyrics

[Intro] 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 Motherfuckers! Running low! [Verse 1] 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 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 I believe that there never is an end?! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone cries 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, 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 So 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! [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Break] [Outro] (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) Hallowed be thy name (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) Hallowed be thy name! Hallowed be thy name Hallowed be thy name Hallowed be thy name Hallowed be thy name Hallowed be thy name! No, no, no, no, no, no
