[Intro]
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
Cos at five o`clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Running low, yeah

[Verse 1]
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
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, not some crazy dream?


[Verse 2]
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 fall, but why am I crying?
After all, I`m not afraid of dying
Don`t I believe that there never is an end?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell, \"God be with you\""
