Lyrics of Hallowed Be Thy Name by Cradle of Filth
verse
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
Motherfuckers
verse
Running low
verse
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?
verse
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 they flow, but why am I crying?
After all, I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
verse
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
And though the end is near, I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
verse
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
So 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
outro
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Hallowed be thy name
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Hallowed be thy name
Writer(s): Stephen Percy Harris
