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
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
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
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
rising to the heavens light
just to plea for death
just to be denied
mükemmel bir iced earth şarkısı. matthew barlow şarkının sonunda perdedir, tizliktir yok efendim oktavdır dinlemeden insanüstü bir şekilde haykırır, göz yaşartır.
insani alir baska diyarlara götürür iced earth ün bu sarkisi.insani yedi buçuk dakika içerisinde dagitir ve dünyasindan soyutlar.dark saga albümünün son parçasi, gelmis geçmis en kopartan,deli eden sarkilardan birisidir.insan sesi kisilana kadar bagirmak ister bu sarkida.on yil geçsin, yirmi yil geçsin yine ayni hazla dinlenebilecek sarkilar arasindadir.her defasinda ayni hissi yaratir.sözler insanin tüylerini diken diken eder.
girisindeki melodiyle dagıtan, the dark saga albumunden nefis bir iced earth parcası."i feel empty, my penance overdue i guess it's too late now to be with you" aglatır...
albüm versiyonu, alive in athens yorumunun yanında sönük kalır. electro gitarların bayan vokallerin önüne geçtiği bu yorum, en vurucu rock balladlarından biridir.
