A Question of Heaven

The time is close now, the end is nearMy walk through the valley, trails of fearI feel empty, my penance overdue,I guess it's too late now to be with youI'm extremely frightened of what will surely beI sold myself, the death of meI 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 thisJust pawns in your twisted gameSevere pain for the lie I'm livin'For a love I never could betray

Question me not say the lord unto theeYou have chosen your own fate and your own destinyDenied of this life is what you are to beYou have chosen your own fate and your own destiny

Lord I pound my fists at youWon't you just let me die?Would I not suffer enough?No inner peace no after life

I did what I thought was rightAll for the love of my lifeI know it's sad but trueSomething is very wrongCondemned to suffer so longFor a love so true

The question that lies withinIs so hard to understandIt still tears at meAnd in my dying breathMy heart holds no regretsI wouldn't change a thing

My spirit begins to rise to the heavenly skiesJust to be shunned away by youNow all I want is to die, no streets of gold in the skyAnd I wash my hands of you

Rising to the heaven's lightJust to plead for deathJust to be denied

Ooohhh, I know you can't forgive meI know I'm on my ownI know that I've betrayed youYou know I walk aloneYou know I walk alone

I walk, I walk the trail of fearI pound my fists at youI'm shunned away by youI 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?
