Machine Head (USA) : Halo - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Lyrics
1.HALO
This is a call to arms,
will you stand beside me?
This is our time to fight,
no more compromising
And this blackened heart will sing
For sad solidarity
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in their sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
This is a right to life,
not the Religious Right's act
This is abortion's knife,
aiming at the womb of
The Christian conspiracy
So open thine eyes and see, the
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in the sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
Our time will come, our time will come
Our time is now, our time is now
And I won't pray for you
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in the sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
Your words will never hold us down
Prayers won't be spared on you
Satisfaction denied
'Til your dead and gone
Gone
Dead and gone!
You're gone!
2.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
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 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 am not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there is never an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody 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, it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please 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 there is just a strange illusion
This is a call to arms,
will you stand beside me?
This is our time to fight,
no more compromising
And this blackened heart will sing
For sad solidarity
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in their sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
This is a right to life,
not the Religious Right's act
This is abortion's knife,
aiming at the womb of
The Christian conspiracy
So open thine eyes and see, the
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in the sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
Our time will come, our time will come
Our time is now, our time is now
And I won't pray for you
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in the sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
Your words will never hold us down
Prayers won't be spared on you
Satisfaction denied
'Til your dead and gone
Gone
Dead and gone!
You're gone!
