High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hallowed Be Thy Name is a song written by Steve Harris for the 1982 Iron Maiden album The Number of The Beast. The song describes a man's thoughts just before being sent to the gallows. He begins to feel terror and realizes he really is afraid of dying, despite claims that he's not (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?). At the end of the vocal section, the man gets executed; this is followed by a long instrumental section, culminating in his ambiguous final words, Hallowed be thy name. When the album Number of the Beast was profiled on VH1's Classic Albums, Steve Harris said the song was about having faith, whether it be in religion or whatever, but could that faith fail you at the last second when you need it most? Hallowed Be Thy Name begins with a slow tempo and builds up later in the song. Bruce Dickinson showcases his wide vocal range and power at both slow and fast tempo. This song is considered one of Iron Maiden's classics, and is a staple at live concerts.
