It's A Long Way to the Top (cover version) 歌詞

Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iced Earth

Written by: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

 

Cos 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 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

But words escape me when I try to speak

 

Tears flow but why am I crying

After all I am not afraid of dying

Do not believe that there never is an end

 

As the guards march me out to the courtyard

Somebody calls from a cell "God be with you"

If there's a God then why does 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

 

Mark my words believe my soul lives on

Don't worry now that I have 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 there is just a strange illusion
