Im waiting
In my cold cell
When the bell
Begins to chime
Reflecting on
My past life
And it doesnt have
Much time
Cause at 5 oclock
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
Theres some
Sort of error
Hard to stop
The
Surmounting terror
Is it really the end
Of some crazy dream
Somebody please
Tell me
That Im dreaming
Its not so easy
To stop
From screaming
The words escape me
When i try to speak
Tears flow
But why am I crying
After all
Im not afraid
Of dying
Dont I believe
That there
Never is an end
As the guards
March me out
To the courtyard
Somebody cries
From a cell
God be with you
If theres a God
Then why has
He let me go?
As I walk
All my life
Drifts before me
Though the end
Is near
Im not sorry
Catch my soul
Its willing
To fly away
Mark my words
Believe
My soul lives on
Dont worry now
That I have gone
Ive gone beyond
To see the truth
When you know
That your time
Is close at han
Maybe
Then youll begin
To understand
Life down here
Is just
A strange illusion
