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 five o'clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Motherfuckers!
Running low
When the priest come's to read me the last rites
I take 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 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 they flow but why am I crying after all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out of the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell:"God be with you"
If there's an god why has he let me die!
As I walk through the drifts before me
And though the end is near I''m not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing fly away
Mark my words believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is at close hand
Maybe then you begin to understand why
When the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at five o'clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Motherfuckers!
Running low
When the priest come's to read me the last rites
I take 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 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 they flow but why am I crying after all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out of the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell:"God be with you"
If there's an god why has he let me die!
As I walk through the drifts before me
And though the end is near I''m not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing fly away
Mark my words believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is at close hand
Maybe then you begin to understand why

as for the meaning i think its about the condemned man but could also be about a mans metaphor for life i heard it was bout harris' feelings bout his own life
Oh, and to solo is not very good in this cover, its very short and very sloppy. And dont even get me started o the base. Just dont compare bands like this to Metal gods like Maiden, its just sick.

And MorgothTheDark, please die :)
anyways, the song is about a man coming to terms with his own mortality, he knows he is to die, his days have been numbered, weather he did or did not commit the crime is left for the listeners to decide. he does not believe in an eternity that is commonly believed in, i think he believed in some kind of reincarnation when he states that he does not believe that there ever is an end, that statement obviously shows that he does not believe in going to an actual "Heaven or Hell" he feels that he will continue to exist after death. therefore he really doesn't care what they think or do.
