Hallowed Be Thy Name (Live) by Iron Maiden

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 (1)________ for me are running low...

When the priest (2)__________ to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a (3)__________ that has gone very (4)__________ for me

Can it be that there's some sort of error?
Hard to stop the (5)______________________ terror
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

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 fall but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that (6)__________ 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 (7)____________ me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away

Mark my words (8)____________ believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I (9)________ gone
I've gone beyond to see 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 be thy name...

Yeah....
