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 five o'clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Running low, yeah

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
Take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be that 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 easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears fall, but why am I crying?
After all, I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"
If there's a God, why has He let me go?
As I walk, 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, believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah

Not only does he have a great voice but he has given the heart back to Skid Row 👍

Erik is so damn good everyone is forgetting to mention how good the instrumentals are 😂

[wingedse]

Being a old-ish time Maiden fan (since 1982), I think this version is awesome. One of Maiden's best songs, performed beautifully. 5 brödrostar!

[Hoglife]

Being a Maiden fan since 1981, Erik killed this, I’ve heard a lot of people trying to cover this and this is one of the best I’ve heard

[johnfras]

This guy is an amazing singer. I found him by accident and I'm glad I did.

[QuentinDoll]

I’m a long time fan. Currently 53 and I’ve seen them 8 times. I appreciate the band more than anyone can imagine and that just simply blew my mind . Every singer in the world who thinks his poop doesn’t stink should be wary because Erik sings everything better than they can😊

[CeRz]

This is insane. One of the best rock voices out there. Can be compared with the greats and there is no question about it.

[waynebatson]

Holy BISCUITS! You held the "running low" note. He held the note! No one holds the note. That was brilliant.

[jrc]

WOW. I went to a Skid Row concert last night in Reno and that was my first introduction to this amazing young man. I mean, I knew nothing about him but what a live performance he put on! I mean this dudes voice is incredible live and he brought such energy and passion to the stage from the first to the last song, just non stop! I am a fan!

Very few people can take on such a legendary song and not sound foolish attempting it. Then along comes Erik who makes it seem easy! Excellent rendition! Your voice is as legendary as this song!

[matthewrobinson]

It’s hard to do Justice to a Bruce song and you did my friend. Killer!!!

[batlevi]

Now this is real talent, no auto tune, no computer crap. Just pure raw instruments and singing! This guy is awesome, Mr Gronwell if u see this, can U please do a cover of Come Sail Away? That would be awesome

[alexdodson]

Truly the best cover I’ve ever seen/heard… EVER!! Immaculate vocals, spotless instrumentals, and he looks like he’s having so much fun!! Up the irons, with perfection, Sir Grönwell! You, my friend, have captured brilliance!🤘🏻🤘🏻
