Hallowed Be Thy Name — текст песни (Cradle Of Filth)

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.

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 so 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 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
