By far my favourite song ever. The 9th and final song on Iron Maiden's hugely successful 3rd album "The Number of the Beast" (1982) At 7:12 it is the longest song on the album, as there are 2 long periods of instrumentals. The song starts off quite slowly, and increases the tempo as the story it tells progresses. It describes a man's thoughts as he is sent to the gallows, the feelings of terror, confusion and realization to the fact that he really is afraid of death, contrary to his belief. The vocals end as the man is executed, followed by a long instrumental section, at the end of which are the man's last words "Hallowed be thy name" Truly an all time classic heavy metal song, from an all time classic heavy metal album, by an all time classic heavy metal band.
