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 five o'clock
they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time
for me are running low
Running low yeah
When the priest
comes to read me the last rites
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
Don't I 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
why has He let me 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 seek the 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
Yeaaaahhh
