Brain Drain

Hallowed be thy name – Cradle of Filth

A friend of mine forwarded these lyrics to me. Dont know how it sounds…havent heard the song. But just loved the way this guy writes. So metaphorical. U can link the punishment to almost anythin wrong that happens to u. Anythin that makes u feel, “Shit!! why did this have to happen??” Feels like this guy just went into my brain and decoded all the junk and put it in verse. Hats Off!! And thanx Sani.

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…

When the priest comes to read me the last rights;
I take a look through the bars at the last sights;
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me…

Could it be that there’s some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror;
Is it really the end or some crazy dream?

Somebody please tell me that I’m dreaming;
It’s not easy to stop from screaming;
Words escape me when I try to speak…

Tears, they flow; but why am I crying?
After all, I’m not afraid of dying;
Do not beleive that there never is an end…

As the guards bring me out to the courtyard;
Somebody crys from a cell, “God be with you!”
If there’s a god then why does he let me die?

As I walk, all 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 see the truth…

So when you know that your time is close at hand;
Maybe then you’ll begin to understand;
Life down there is just a strange illusion…
