A Question of Heaven Songtext
von 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 you can't forgive me
(I know I'm on my own) I know I′m on my own
(I know that I′ve betrayed you) 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

"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
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

Oh, I know you can′t forgive me (Rising to the heaven′s light)
I know I'm on my own (Just to plead for death)
I know that I′ve betrayed you (Just to be denied)
You know I walk alone, you know I walk alone
(Just to plead for death)
I walk, I walk the trail of fear (Just to be denied)
I pound my fists at you (Rising to the heaven's light)
I′m shunned away by you (Just to plead for death)
I wash my hands of you (Just to be denied)

Why won't you let me die? (Rising to the heaven′s light)
Why won't you let me die? (Just to plead for death)
Why won't you let me die? (Just to be denied)

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