A Question of Heaven

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
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, yeah

What exactly is the meaning of this?
Just pawns in your twisted game
Severe pain for the lie I'm living
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?
Have I not suffered enough?
No inner peace, no afterlife

("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
But 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)

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

(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) why won't you let me die?

(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)

Thank you
