Journeyman lyrics

From the red sky of the east. To the sunset in the west

We have cheated death and he has cheated us

But that was just a dream. And this is what it means

We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore

And the fragment remains of our memories

And the shadows we made with our hands

Deep grey, came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn

Will this Journeyman’s day be his last?

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

But the memory still remains.

All those past years not so strange

Our winter times are like a silent shroud

And the heartbeat of the day

Drives the mist away

And winter's not the only dream around

In your life you may choose desolation

And the shadows you build with your hands

If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night

Then this Journeyman's day has begun

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

(Spare your life and choose the destruction of time over yourself.)

In your life you may choose desolation

And the shadows you build with your hands

If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night

Then your Journeyman's day has begun

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.

I know what I want, I say what I want

And no one can take it away.
