Machine Head - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Album Version)

Epic Song.

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 (running low, YEAH)

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 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'm not afraid of dying
Do not believe that there never is an end

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

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

Yayaya Hallowed Be Thy Name
Yayaya Hallowed Be Thy Name

Woooaah.

@Cheximus I believe you meant to say Machine Head + Iron Maiden > than sex

[Cheximus]

Machine Head + Iron Maiden = sex.



[Gonzo1889]

@dawerick Only one thing to say...Fuck you. Maiden set the trail alongside Judas Priest influencing way too many bands to count. Ive learned more from Maiden than I have with shitty public school education. What other bands can say that? But it's no use arguing with a moronic asshole anyway.

@imajessachu how the hell did fightstar ruin fear of the dark?! Machine head and fightstar did the best covers! but i agree on sign. fuckin hell!

[XxEvilEricxX]

[imajessachu]

On the album this was off, I physically couldn't listen to the majority, I mean bands like Fightstar and Sign ruined the songs, but, this is the one, the only one i could listen too.

It's kept it's Maiden and Machine Head attributes. It's fantastic.
