Hallowed Be Thy Name - cover version

Lyrics

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
 Cos 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 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 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 I am not afraid of dying
 Don't believe that there is never 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 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 there is just a strange illusion
 Yeah yeah yeah
 Hallowed be thy name
 Yeah yeah yeah
 Hallowed be thy name
 Yeah
