What are you listening to?

"Hallowed Be Thy Name"

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

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 an 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 am not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me go?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause 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
Life down there is just a strange illusion

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hallowed be Thy name​

Today I've found this song by The Waterboys and I loved it.

Higher in Time

Well, the mountain is steep
The ditches are deep
The task in hand
Is making us weep
But here's a promise
I intend to keep
Seed it in your mind
And say it each night
Before you sleep:
We will climb higher in time

You've got a head full of trouble
And a ship to build
You believe you won't make it
But you know you will
You feel you need your
Cup refilled
We have karma to burn
And fires to kill
And we will climb
Higher in time

I've been to the bottom
And I've been on the train
I've slept in the gutter
With my head in a drain
I've been brutally proud
I've been mortally shamed
But this is not a crime
I'm just learning, my friends
That it's all in the game
And we will climb
Higher in time
Higher in time
