Lyrics
I'm waiting in my cold cell
As the bells begin 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, 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?
It's hard to stop this surmounting terror
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
The 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 guard walks me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"
If there's a God, then why does He let me die?
As I walk on, my life drifts before me
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 am 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 here is just a strange illusion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hallowed be thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hallowed be thy name
Yeah
