Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics - Tribute To The Gods - Iced Earth

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, 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, 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 

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 

And 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. 

Yeah hallowed be thy name 

Yeah hallowed by thy name 

Yeah
