thats part of the lyrics taken from the song 'Vengeance Is Mine'. Sounds like a bold statement huh? well, so is the rest of the album, considering its about the story of the HELL SPAWN (a really kick ass character made by Todd Macfarlin). and thankfully, Iced Earth does the Masterpiece story justice by making kick ass music to go with it! Every song on this cd is really really good, and for the style it is (basically i'd say thrasy power metal) its perfect! Im not going to go as far to say that the musician ship is extremely talented, the Iced Earth members are all talented, but nothing in this cd stands out as amazing going by the complexity scale. This cd is nethertheless worth 5 stars and maybe more, because of the songs like 'Vengeance Is Mine','The Hunter','The Last Laugh','Slave To The Dark', and of course 'A Question of Heaven' which is my favorite. id also say that 'A Question of Heaven' would be worth buying this cd just by itself, thats how good it is! Iced Earth have once again proven that they are a amazing band and are a force to be reckoned with! Buy this cd if you love Iced Earth, want to check Iced Earth out, or love Jon's work in Demons and Wizards, and of course if you are a SPAWN fan!
