"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 Gallow's Pole

The sands of time for me are running low



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"



"Hallowed By Thy Name" - Steve Harris







Here I wait in my tiny cell so cold

The walls closing in around me

Threatening to crush my very soul

My soul screams out but the walls are so deaf

There is none who hears me

None aware of the torment of my soul



So I wait for the welcome sound of the bell

The sound that will signal my escape

My soul set free at last

Never again to suffer the torment of my capture

The tormenting existance that is called 'my life'



Oh what has gone so wrong!!

As I peer through the tiny barred window

To a world I was once a part of

A world that seemingly plotted my torment

Even the faith forsakes me

A lost cause indeed



Oh bell! Oh bell! Please let me hear your sound!

My escape will be near!

My soul yearns for this freedom.

The only freedom available to me

The world, the universe, even the gods imposes their judgments

Under their merciless control

They laugh at my capture



The anger, the contempt, so evident in their final decree

The sentence handed down, my fate sealed.

Blinded by their rage they know not what they achieved

The setting free of my soul

The end of my torment

My one and only escape
