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
Trough 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 whit you”
If there´s a God
Then why has
He let me go?

As I walk
All my life
Drifts before me
Trough 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
