A Question of Heaven

The album’s closer is, fittingly, about the comic book character Spawn, just like the rest of the album.… Read More [Segue: Instrumental]

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

I'm extremely frightened of what will surely be

I sold myself, the death of me

(I know you can't) 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 walk alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

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

[Refrain]

"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)"

[Verse 3]

Lord, I pound my fists at You

Won't You just let me die?

Would I not suffer enough?

No inner peace, no afterlife

[Refrain]

"Question me not", say the Lord unto thee

"You have chosen your own fate and your own (destiny)"

"Denied of this life is" ("Denied of this life is")

"What you are to be" ("What you are to be")

"You have chosen" ("You have chosen")

"(Your own fate and) your own destiny"

[Verse 4]

I did what I thought was right

(Aaaaaaaaah...)

All for the love of my life

(Aaaaaaaaah...)

I know it's sad but true

(Aaaaaaaaah...)

Something is very wrong

(Aaaaaaaaah...)

Condemned to suffer so long

(Aaaaaaaaah...)

For a love so true

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

The question that lies within

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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

(Rising to the Heaven's light)

You know I walk alone

(Just to plead for death)

I walk, I walk a 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)

(Rising to the Heaven's light)

Why won't You let me die?

Why won't You let me die?

(Just to plead for death)

Oh! Won't You let me die? (Just to be denied)

[Chorus Fading]

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–
