Hallowed Be Thy Name ((Live: Reading Festival, 28 August 1982) [Live])

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, yeah
The sands of time
For me are running low

Running low, yeah
Yeah

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
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
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?

Everybody
Everybody

As the guards march out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"
If there's a God, 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

And mark my words, believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek 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

Yeah-yeah-yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Hallowed by thy name

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Aw!

Yeah (yeah)
Oh, bloody yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)

Alright, this is the song of from Iron Maiden's greatest hits
That we published on Rod Smallwood's Enterprises
Any minute coming up
