A Question Of Heaven Lyrics - Alive In Athens (live) - Iced Earth

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 fists 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 wouldn't 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
