Cradle Of Filth - Hallowed Be Thy Name [with lyrics]

*** LYRICS ***

I am waiting in my cold cell well 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 galows pole
The Sands of time for me are running low

As the priest comes read me the last rights
I take a look through the bars as the last sights
of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream?

Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
Its not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't ever believe there never be an end

As the Gaurds march me out to the court yard
Someone from a cell calls "God be with you"
If there's a God why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
All though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cause 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

So when you know your time is close at hand
Maybe you will begin to understand
Life is just a strange illusion

comparing the god like nature of CoF to the immortallity of Maiden is like comparing a bmw to audi they are both legends and at the top of thier class but you can not compare apples to orange its two different thing just accept that it could not be done better by the miserable bastard god himself

When comparing the covers I really think this version should sit right next to the original. While it's the same song they're completely different and great in their own ways. I absolutely love Machine Head but theirs fall short to me. This one keeps the thrash aspect that the original demands but Cradle'a black metal influence on the song is spot on.

@Nickthehahas7 +1, remakes rarely do the trick. talking of good remakes you might want to check out metallica's remake of 'turn the page' if you haven't already...one of the best covers i've heard.

[ringosatyarr]

the theme of horror is well portrayed and well conveyed by this version

[blackhwalk]

i like that

8700 vs 1268
