Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Another song played by iron maiden on the DVD Death on the road...
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 hand.
Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
Life down here is just a strange illusion
Hallowed Be Thy Name

In high school I used this song as the subject of a music assignment in literature class. I blew away all the other students projects. They all looked like the audience in "Back to the future" when Marty McFly got crazy on the guitar. They were stunned.

I love you steven. iron maiden is the best band of the world. Thank you

[@nomoretears10]

Hell yeah! Because Iron Maiden's music has meaning to it. Unlike most music put today. UP THE IRONS!!!

[@ryde99]

thing like R&B and rap and hip-hop is that every like what... couple week or month err something? theres this new artist or song that comes out that becomes the new "in" thing, then you get tired of it and become old news. then someone else comes out. but with Metal and Rock, like Maiden, one song, bang, lasts for ever, dont need anything new, you can listen to their songs over and over and not get tired of it. I love that about Maiden, UP THE IRONS!!!! =D

[@veronyka83]

They played about two weeks ago in the Quilmes Rock from Argentina....I was there...and they were incredible!!!! this song...rocks!!!!!!! They are one of the best metal rock. also I`ve been in kiss...but this guys rules!!!! Aguante Maiden!!!!

[@fearedlegend]

@uptheiirons so so true.Maiden is a constant ray of sunshine in my life.I adore them so much words cannot describe.There is no band,and i mean no band,that can even be put in the same league as these down to earth awesome men.They really are off the charts.

[@BallSackGames]

It's the best song in the history of music... Along with many other tunes! :)

[@tonmandude]

You see, what I love about rock and metal is that, music doesn't get "played out'. I'm tired of going to school and hearing all these kids saying "Yo son, that song is so played out." Not with rock, I can listen to this stuff forever.

[@mizlae]

I've been listening to metal ever since July of Last year and my brother always goes.. "If you keep listening to Iron Maiden EVERYDAY you won't like them later." Almost two years later. BAM! FAVORITE BAND STILL!! UP THE IRONS!

[@pappppie]

@XXXMidnightMadness I was lucky enough to see them one time and that was the Live After Death tour. After all those years since that concert and the thousands of bands I've seen since,. Iron Maiden absolutely blew my mind. Without a doubt, the best concert (out of 100s) I have even seen.

[@gorebolte]

Oh my god, the single most epic solo I've heard in a long time and I need not say how amazing the vocals were because they are just as flawless as they always are. Up the irons!
