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 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 
Of some crazy dream

Somebody please 
Tell me 
That I'm dreaming
It's 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 
I'm not afraid 
Of dying
Don't 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 there's a God 
Then why has 
He let me go?

As I walk 
All my life 
Drifts before me
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 han
Maybe 
Then you'll begin 
To understand
Life down here 
Is just 
A strange illusion
