Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics
Artist(Band):Iron Maiden
Review The Song (16)Print the Lyrics
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...

Running low--ooohhh...
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 this 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 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 does he let me go?

As I walk 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.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah..................................

Review about Hallowed Be Thy Name

Cover by Machine Head | Reviewer: Overlord | 9/16/2008
    Just wanted to tell that this great song has recently been covered by Machine Head, the best band in the world.
    They did that for a tribute CD by Kerrang! magazine on which the whole Number of the Beast album is covered by different bands, even Metallica.

    Here is a video from Rock in Rio 2008, the first time Machine Head played the song live:

    mind blowing | Reviewer: santosh hamal | 4/23/2008

    this sis the mind blowing song covered by the band iron maidenh weith very touchy and infuential lyrics as iron maiden are always rocking this dong is too rocking and later on this song is covered by the band cradle of flith which is too great too.



    Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/15/2008

    This is perhaps the greatest metal song ever written from the lyrics and singing to the constant shredding throughout. This song still gives me chills when i listen to it! I don't even want to listen to the Cradle of Filth one because I know nobody can do it anywhere near as good as Iron Maiden did. ROCK ON!



    Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden | Reviewer: GamerErman2001 | 3/24/2008

    This is a very epic song. It has a catchy melody, a heavy sound, and epic and deep lyrics. It also explains the answer to the question "Why does God let bad things happen to people love Him?" He lets it happen because in the long run, it doesn't matter. People who love Him will have an eternal Afterlife in a city that will fall down from Heaven, which is of greater importance than our mortal lives in this terrible world.



    True Metal | Reviewer: Adam | 3/20/2008

    this is real metal. not hard rock, not screamo, not hardcore punk. this is what metal IS. it makes you feel like your the one getting marched out to a noose. it makes you think about whats being said "the guards march me out to the courtyard,
    "Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you".
    If there's a God then why does he let me go?"
    So True. god cant help you



    Hallowed be thy name review | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/28/2008

    One of the bests songs ever, that keeps the meaning of searching the roots of everithing, Much million times better tha every piece of actual Hiphop, pop, rap, regeton and other SHISE music. I went to see them also. The Band is still one of the rock legends and is never going to be overpassed. Metal must and will survive and this song is the emblem.




    Poetry | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/26/2008

    I agree with almost all of you. This song MAKES you become the narrator....it is YOU marching out to the gallows and being fucking torn up internally. I'd give anything to be able to write lyrics like these. Harris/Dickinson are the Dylan of Metal.



    One more reason: why they're the best Metal Band. | Reviewer: xbsjames@yahoo.com | 1/9/2008

    An almost perfect arrangement of vocals, lyrics and instruments. Dickinson boldly display his impressive singing ability and range, and it pours out with passion and raw power.

    Damn it is a F-ing Great Song, arguably one of the top-five best of the Genre.

    TOLOTG,

    PS, The Cradle of Filth's version is not bad; it is what it is, a cover and I respect their homage to Maidens.



    whatever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/16/2007

    in my opinion the maiden covers my cradle of filth are sucky. siniging through the whole track in one tone is not what i was exepting. maiden rocks!



    Hallowed be Hallowed | Reviewer: cjmaddox | 10/19/2007

    Hands down for me the best Heavy Metal song ever. A great new live studio version of it is available on itunes as part of A Matter Of Life & Death.

    This is what makes Heavy Metal for me. Back in the day 'they' through everyone into that category including GNR, AC/DC, etc. Some good bands, but NOT Metal.

    The whole thing blows me away: presentation, lyrics, progressions of bass & guitar, Dickinson air raid vocals. High caliber, Up the Irons!
