HALLOWED BE THY NAME
( Steve Harris )
I´m waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to shime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn´t have much time
Cos at 5 o´clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low
When the priest come to read 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 there´s been some sort of terreur
Hard to stop the surmonting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dreams
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 am i not afraid of dying
Don´t i believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell " God be with you "
Is there´s a God then why has 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 cos it´s wiling to fly away
Mark my words please believe me 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 closed at hand
Maybe then you´ll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
