Iced Earth - The Suffering: 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 d**h 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 Repeat Bridge 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 d**h Just to be denied-
