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

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 fists at you
Won't you just let me die
Would I not suffer enough
No inner peace no after life

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 wouldn't change a thing

My spirit begins to rise to 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

Rising to the heaven's light
Just to plead for death
Just to be denied

Rising to the heaven's light
Just to plead for death
Just to be denied

Ooohhh, I know you can't forgive me
I know I'm on my own
I know that I've betrayed you
You know I walk alone
You know I walk alone

I walk, I walk the trail of fear
I pound my fists at you
I'm shunned away by you
I wash my hands of you

Why won't you let me die
Why won't you let me die
Why won't you let me die

@ParadiseCityGR you are right, the music is average but as usual with great bands, its a great vocalist

It always amazes me that iced earth could write a beautiful song like this, and a year earlier release the exact opposite to this song in the form of dante's inferno. Both amazing songs, thanks for the upload

"And in my dying breath

My heart holds no regrets

I wouldn't change a thing"

Hope I can say the same the day it's time to leave :'(

@Dave0x4C And Gettysburg is Jon's. They both have excellent taste.

The Demons & Wizards website tells me that this is Hansi Kürsch's favourite Iced Earth song. That man knows what he's talking about. =D
