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 fall, 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, why has He let me go? As I walk, my life drifts before me And 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 seek the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you’ll begin to understand That life down here is just a strange illusion Hallowed be thy name Hallowed be thy name
