The Suffering: A Question of Heaven Iced Earth

[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) I know you can't forgive me
(I know) I know I'm on my own
I know that I've betrayed You
I walk alone

[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
