Iron Maiden - Hallow Be Thy Name
收錄在鐵媽媽經典專輯The Number Of The Beast的代表作之一
開頭由中古世紀的教堂鐘聲帶入，接著Bruce的唱腔讓人感覺有點哀傷、有點無奈
隨之響起的就是貫穿全曲的吉他riff，簡單好記的旋律營造出歌曲完美的意境
這首歌vocal的表現並不多，大部分的時間都是雙吉他的演奏
不過在短短的vocal演出中，Bruce表現的非常出色
歌詞與唱腔跟背景的旋律配合得很完美
最後在結尾的部份
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hallowed be Thy name
短短的兩句歌詞卻有鐵媽媽的perfect ending
小弟最喜歡的一首鐵媽媽，在這邊附上歌詞翻譯獻給大家
"Hallow Be Thy Name"
Hallowed Be Thy Name（願爾名見聖）
I'm waiting in my cold cell
我在冰冷的牢房等候
when the bell begins to chime
等候鐘聲的鳴響
Reflecting on my past life
回憶著往昔歲月
and it doesn't have much time
而生命已到盡頭
'Cuase at 5 o'clock they take me
因為到五點整
to the Gallows Pole
我就會被帶到絞架旁
The sands of time for me are running low
生命的沙漏已經見底
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
神父來為我做臨終禱告
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
透過欄柵再看一眼
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
那個承載我荒唐一生的世界
Can it be there's been some sort of an error
難道這中間就沒有絲毫差錯？
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
難以克服這樣的恐懼
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
結局就這樣注定而不是一場瘋狂的夢境？
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
誰來告訴我這只是一場夢
It's not easy to stop from screaming
無法抑制地開始尖叫
But words escape me when I try to speak
話到嘴邊卻開不了口
Tears they flow but why am I crying?
為何我會這般痛哭流涕？
After all am I not afraid of dying
不管怎樣我並不畏懼死亡
Don't believe that there never is an end
要知道這只是遲早的事情
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
守衛把我押送到院子裡去的時候
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
一個牢房裡的聲音對我說「主與你同在」
If there's a God then why has he let me die？
如果真有上帝他怎會就這樣看著我去死？
As I walk all my life drifts before me
我走著，我的一生在眼前飄過
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
結局已經臨近我也絲毫不覺遺憾
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away
抓住我的靈魂因它想要飛遠
Mark my words believe my soul lives on
記下我的話我相信靈魂會繼續活著
Don't worry now that I have gone
別再擔心我將去向何方
I've gone beyond to see the truth
我先走一步去見證真理
When you know that your time is close at hand
當你意識到自己時日無多
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
也許你也會開始明白
Life down there is just a strange illusion
生命的終結只是一個古怪的幻覺
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hallowed be Thy name 願爾名見聖（應該是臨終前對主的呼喚）
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hallowed be Thy name 願爾名見聖
