[Intro]

D5
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

          Bb               C5                     D5
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole

      Bb              C5              D5
The sands of time for me are running low, motherfuckers

D5  Bb  C5
        Running low

D5 Bb C5 (2x) [Verse 1]

D5  N.C.
    When the priest comes to read me the last rites

A5|Bb5  N.C.
    Take a look through the bars at the last sights

Bb5|C5 N.C.                                  D5
    Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

D5  N.C                                   A5|Bb5
   Can it be that there's some sort of error

N.C.                              Bb5|C5
Hard to stop the surmounting terror

N.C                                      D5
Is it really the end not some crazy dream?

                                         Bb5
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming

                                    C5
It's not easy to stop from screaming

                                       D5
But words escape me when I try to speak

C5 D5                                    Bb5
     Tears they flow but why am I crying?

                                C5
After all I'm not afraid of dying

                                          D5
Don't I believe that there never is an end

[Interval] D5 Bb C5 D5 D5 A5|Bb5 (2x) [Verse 2]

C5|D5
     As the guards march me out to the courtyard

A5|Bb5
     Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"

Bb5|C5                                          D5
     If there's a god then why has he let me go?

C5|D5
     As I walk my life drifts before me

A5|Bb5
     And though the end is near I'm not sorry

Bb5|C5                                      D5
     Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away

C5|D5
     Mark my words, believe my soul lives on

A5|Bb5
     Don't worry now that I have gone

Bb5|C5                                D5
     I've gone beyond to seek the truth

C5|D5
     So when you know that your time is close at hand

A5|Bb5
     Maybe then you'll begin to understand

Bb5|C5                                        D5
     Life down here is just a strange illusion

        Hallowed be thy name ...
