Iced Earth - A Gift Or A Curse Lyrics

Where are the people?👀

I just smoke a lot of pot and drink a lot of beer.

I really like Barlow's voice, sounds like a Paul Stanley on steroids but i would like to hear this song with Ripper Owens or a duet would be great 🤘

Thats wat u call a voice of a soul \,,/

This is true iced earth

hey can someone help me with this i think i know the meaning but what does this song real mean pls help i been jam out to iced earth for only a year

Jordan Ballard just as the title says a gift or a curse. it speaks of being one of the rare few and questioning if it is a curse or a gift. Pretty much the short version. there is more to it but does have more meaning to it

plagio ?

I am a god that walks the earth. Goosebumps. It helps

Perfection! Metal tunes don't get any better. And that's saying something cause metal fucking RULES!

Adored !!

Sphere of the atmos

Iced Earth are done, with the split of Matt Barlow...

Benedikt Saurer I somewhat agree however the new stuff isn't bad but not the same without Matt I think Barlow brings something outta Jon that he can't find without him kinda like Steve perry with journey

Although Barlow will always be my favorite singer i think the change was needed, he just didn't have the same passion as back in the 90s anymore. Stu is doing a great job and the latest album is really good

Just discovered this tonight. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck it's good!

this song is so amazing, its almost hard to handle holy shit

this would be a good sex song

True, you definitely do not need drugs to truly enjoy and appreciate music, but it is an incredibly mind blowing experience if you take some strong ecstasy, mushrooms, LSD, etc and listen to music....EPECIALLY this song. I am the last person to say go out and do drugs, but if used in moderation, the right drug can be a very positive, mind opening experience that I think everyone should experience. But to each his own. Iced Earth makes me feel euphoric with or without drugs.

You clearly missed the main point of that one by a mile.....

awesome tunage !

his voice must be either a gift or a curse

The beginning guitar part of this song sounds perfect for a female solo strip tease.

the vocals at 3:13 are awesome

@TheBboySpooky Isaiah 14v12 kjv the falling one, the morning star. Revelation 22v16 kjv the morning star. Many are blind in it. Some read not at all, to know what the book was all about. But many has been tricked of the end. For they kill thereself's day by day, trying to find the truth. For he's got them lost in there mind. For it would be like a drug, if you forget what made you. And some will say it is not even so. But if one read's, let him start from the begining.

@bluton78 well said

@theyrdaydreamers Wut?

@SyluxLockjaw
Schaffer can make any singer sound great xD

is the best rock band, this singer has an amazing voice

I will spit unto the sungod. And put his fire out. And bring him low. For i glory in One. That God is with us. So bring it on jesus. The morning star. For i know what i have pulled down. And i know of who i glory. Glory is the Lord of Host. For fire is in the haven's. Hope all have's water. From the truth.

@ibanezgto ???

Matt just doesn't want to do it any longer, its his choice. Its shitty that he came back long enough only to fuck Ripper Owens out of his 2nd big chance. Judas Priest fucked him, now Iced Earth fucked him. Owens isn't Barlow,no shit. But Tim Owens is an amazing vocalist. When I first heard him at Criminal Records I didn't believe that it was not Rob Halford. The dude said "alright come out here" in his car was the inlay with Tim Owens Vocals. And listen to his cover of King Diamond's Abigail.

This song is just perfect i love Barlows voice i agree is like a drug...

fucking great song, majestic

@jondoetube its not only a song or a band, its a religion and a pray :D

@john41199 actually schaffer writes the lead guitar the rhythm guitar and the bass..so i guess he can play a solo

he can write them though! lol

Iced Earth is my favorite band, but I just can't stand to see fellow fans arguing over singers. They're ALL good!

Are you kidding? cause come what may are fucking more beautiful and you see all the potential of matt on it but this one too is awsome like all this album :D! No owens scream in my ears again xD

This solo kicks so much ass..... o.o

no the guy who worked with chuck on that project was Tim Aymar, the guy with 1000 voices

You're thinking of Tim Aymar bud. Tim 'Ripper Owens' was halfords replacement in Judas Priest for a while.

Framing Armageddon, Something Wicked Part One. Is the album name.

Tim also sang in the Glorious Burden and the Overturn of the Wicked EP.

yeah I wasn't sure if this album would be as well rounded as SWTWC or HS but now I know...

I buy now.

Wow, i really like this song. It gives me chills.

this new iced earth album is'n good as the others

Iced Earth is a gift! And a curse because I can't stop listening!!! :)

I like IE, but I prefer it when their songs have some SPEED in them as well :P

the bridge at 2:30 and the solo of this song is sooooo great!!!

lol Lost Horizon is good...

Not as good as Iced Earth, though!

kick ass shit. i fell in love once again!!!

shut up with your lost horizon man listen and appreciate the music or go away listen your lost horizon

nice song-- try Lost Horizon's Welcome Back

Amazing. I need the album bad. Hail Iced Earth.

The whole album owns so hard to me. Definitely my favorite of all time.
