Iced Earth - A Question Of Heaven lyrics

The time is close now, the end is near

My walk through the valley, trails of fear

I feel empty, my penance overdue

I guess it's too late now

To be with you

I'm extremely frightened of what will surely be

I sold myself, the death of me

I know you can't forgive me

I know I'm on my own, I've betrayed you

I walk alone

What exactly is the meaning of this

Just pawns in your twisted game

Severe pain for the lie I'm livin'

For a love I never could betray

(Bridge)

Question me not say the lord unto thee

You have chosen your own fate

and your own destiny

Denied of this life, is what you are to be

You have chosen your own fate

and your own destiny

Lord I pound my tists at you

Won't you just let me die

Would I not suffer enough

No inner peace no after life

(Bridge)

Question me not say the lord unto thee

You have chosen your own fate

and your own destiny

Denied of this life, is what you are to be

You have chosen your own fate

and your own destiny

I did what I thought was right

All for the love of my life

I know it's sad but true

Something is very wrong

Condemned to suffer so long

For a love so true

The question that lies within

Is so hard to understand

It still tears at me

And in my dying breath

My heart holds no regrets

I would'nt change a thing

My spirit begins to rise into the heavenly skies

Just to be shunned away by you

Now all I want is to die, no streets of gold in the sky

And I wash my hands of you

(Bridge)

Rising to the heavens light

Just to plea for death

Just to be denied
