Hallowed Be Thy Name

Iron Maiden

Transposer:

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 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 so 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 has he let me go? As I walk all my life drifts before me Though the end is near I’m still 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 strangeillusion Yeah Yeah Yeah... Hallowed Be Thy Name

La chanson évoque les pensées et les réflexions d’un homme vivant ses derniers instants avant d'être exécuté. Dans sa cellule froide, il se remémore sa vie et ressent une montée d'angoisse alors qu'il attend son destin. Malgré la peur et l'incertitude, il finit par accepter l'idée de la mort, se demandant si c'est vraiment la fin ou un simple cauchemar. Il se sent abandonné par Dieu tout en cherchant un sens à son existence, réalisant que la vie sur terre peut sembler illusoire face à ce qui l'attend. Le contexte de cette chanson renvoie à des thèmes profonds tels que la mortalité, la recherche de rédemption et la lutte intérieure entre la foi et le désespoir. Son ambiance sombre met en lumière la solitude de l’âme confrontée à son voyage ultime, tout en posant des questions sur la nature même de la vie et de l’au-delà.
