Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics by Machine Head

The Blackening

2007

[Intro]
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
Running low, yeah!

[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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 fall but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?

[Verse 3]
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God 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 4]
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

[Lead - Flynn]

[Lead - Demmel]

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah!
