Hallowed Be Thy Name 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
The sands of time for me are running low.
When the priest comes to (1)________ me the (2)________ rites,
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
Of a world that has gone (3)________ wrong for me.
Can it be that there's some sort of error
Hard to (4)________ 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
But (5)__________ escape me when I try to speak.
Tears fall but why am I crying,
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Do not believe that there (6)__________ 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 (7)________ why has he let me go?
As I walk my life drifts (8)____________ me,
Though the end is (9)________ 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 (10)____________ 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
