Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden

It was released in 1982 in their album The Number of the Beast

Fun fact:  Allmusic has describes it as "perhaps the most celebrated of the band's extended epics; it's the tale of a prisoner about to be hanged, featuring some of Harris' most philosophical lyrics." Several band-members have since stated that it is one of their favourite tracks, with Bruce Dickinson describing it as "fantastic" and that performing it live is like "narrating a movie to the audience."
