Hallowed Be Thy Name - Live at Long Beach Arena; 1998 Remaster

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 po-o-o-o-ole
The sands of time
For me
Are running lo-o-o-o-o-o-ow

Running lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow, yeah, yeah

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 of some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming it's not easy
To stop from screaming the words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow 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
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 han
Maybe Then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
