Well, you forgot the question mark but I'll close my eyes! :D

Clue #1: sweet sixteen < CIPWM is the 16th single released by the band
Clue #2: pining for the doctor < the actor Graham Chapman, best known for being part of the Monty Python (he co-wrote the Parrot Sketch, hence "pining for [the fjords]"), graduated as a doctor before becoming a full-time writer and comedian. He made his last appearance, as the art teacher, in the video for the song.
Clue #3: Viserys Targaryen < refers to the cover and to the fact this GOT character dies from getting molten gold poured on his head. It also less directly echoes the line "Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire".
Clue #4: this song inspired the title of a bootleg named after it but bearing a mistake
11235
Clue #5:
The lines "
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said, "do you wanna know the truth, son?"
"Lord, I'll tell you the truth"
are reminiscent of Colonel Jessep's snapping in his defense in A Few Good Men (the picture is a still from the film)

In fairness to me, there’s no question mark in the title in the lyric book, the back cover of Seventh Son, or the front cover of the CIPWM single, so you can open your eyes again!

Clue #1: A lyric from this song echoes the title of a hit single by another metal band from the early 2000s
 
No to all.

Clue #1: A lyric from this song echoes the title of a hit single by another metal band from the early 2000s
Clue #2: This other band’s hit single was on the soundtrack to both a movie prequel and a video game sequel, and the other band shares its name with a song from a famous grunge band’s album that came out 10 years before this other band’s single

Incorrect guesses: Infinite Dreams, The Thin Line Between Love And Hate, Blood Brothers
 
I'm confused about the second clue. Are you asking for the band name or the song name? And is it also a Maiden song title? It doesn't say. :(

Sorry, it’s just more context on the song being referenced in clue #1, which is by another band, and contains a strong hint about a lyric in the Iron Maiden song you’re trying to guess. The name of this other band is not an Iron Maiden song title.
