HALLOWED BE THY NAME

(Harris)

 

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

Cos 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 there's been 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 they 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
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has 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 cos it's willing to fly away
 
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please 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 there is just a strange illusion

WRATHCHILD

(Harris)

 

I was born into a scene of angriness and greed of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen my dad I've never seen I was never meant to be

 

Now I spend my time looking all around, for a man that's nowhere to be found

Until I find him I've never gonna stop searching

I'm going to find my man, gonna travel round
 
Cos I'm a wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you
Ooh yeah yeah
 
Some say it shouldn't matter ain't nothing gonna alter the course of my destination
But I know I've gotta find some serious piece of mind or I know I'll just go crazy
 

Now I spend my time looking all around, for a man that's nowhere to be found

Until I find him I've never gonna stop searching
I'm going to find my man, gonna travel round
 
Cos I'm a wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you
Ooh yeah yeah
