Interpretation

At first he feels terror but then he comes to realise that he is not afraid to die …tears they flow but why am I crying, after all I am not afraid of dying.

Illegal lyrics aside (is it illegal to have just one line of lyrics?), I'm going to need some kind of source for the above because I disagree. The quoted lyrics were supposed to represent confusion and doubt as to the existence of God. The condemned was questioning why he was crying. He thought he wasn't afraid of dying, but for some reason he was still afraid, and the next line, "Don't I believe that there never is an end?" clarifies. He later comes around by saying "Mark my words, believe my soul lives on", but it was then and not before that he realizes he's not afraid of dying. I think this line in the article is inaccurate.

As much as I passionately love this song, I' m not convinced its particularly encyclopedic to claim "best song eva". Its bloody good and one of maidens best (I still reckon aces high takes that crown), but is there really a large number of people who believe Hallowed is the greatest?

I think on the matter of best Maiden song ever, you will at best have a hung jury, and at worst a full out bloody massacre. Kluner.net (talk) 22:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Good question. I think that this article is a basing to much on how people love it more than other songs. We can't really state that as a true fact, and also these kind of things, when voted for, are just popularity contests. It also seems to be using weasel words when it states that, as if that is what the writer thought of the song. GamerErman2001 (talk) 10:27, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Hallowed Be Thy Name

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hallowed Be Thy Name's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
