A Dream That Cannot Be Lyrics by Amon Amarth

The Pursuit of Vikings: 25 Years in the Eye of the Storm

2016

[Verse 1: Johan Hegg]
Years of wait are over now
She's almost in my grasp
Now I will fulfill my vow
She will be mine at last
[Pre-Chorus 1: Doro Pesch]
I feel him near
The boy estranged has now returned
A full grown man
But still I fear that nothing's changed
He simply does not understand
[Chorus: Johan Hegg & Doro Pesch]
Come with me
I'll set you free
And I'll show you
What your life could be
You can't see
That I am free
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be
[Verse 2: Johan Hegg]
Through forests deep, over mountains high
I've crossed the waves for her
In shadows dark, this cursed night
My thoughts and memories stir
[Pre-Chorus 2: Doro Pesch]
I've left the memories
Of our youth behind
I don't know what he hopes to find
In the shadows he waits for me
For a dream that cannot be
[Chorus: Johan Hegg & Doro Pesch]
Come with me
I'll set you free
And I'll show you
What your life could be
You can't see
That I am free
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be
[Bridge: Johan Hegg & Doro Pesch]
She refuses to leave
So I grab her by force
I pull the knife I've concealed
I put the edge to his throat
Shocked by the attack
I can feel her final words sear
Leave and never come back
Or I'll cut you ear to ear
[Chorus/Outro: Johan Hegg & Doro Pesch]
You can't see
That I am free
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be
I'll set you free
He said to me
And I'll show you what
Your life could be
I am free
She said to me
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be!
Can't you see?
Just leave me be
Can't you see?
I am free
