Hallowed Be Thy Name (Live) - Iron Maiden

Composed by：S. Harris/Steve Harris

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

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 there's been some sort of an 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 they flow but why am I crying

After all am I not afraid of dying

Don't believe that there never is an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard

Someone calls 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 'cause 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

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

Yeah yeah yeah

Hallowed be thy name

Yeah yeah yeah

Hallowed be thy name

Yeah oh yeah yeah

Ooohhh
