|
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'll 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 |
|
Do not 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, my life drifts before me |
|
Though the end is near, I'm not sorry |
|
Catch my soul, 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 here is just a strange illusion |
|
Hallowed be thy name |
