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

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
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 then why has he let me go?

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 here is just a strange illusion

Ohh ohh ohhh Hallowed be thy name
Ohh ohh ohhh Hallowed be thy name
