A Dream That Cannot Be Songtext
von Amon Amarth

Years of wait are over now
She′s almost in my grasp
Now I will fulfill my vow
She will be mine at last

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

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


Through forests deep, over mountains high
I′ve crossed the waves for her
In shadows dark, this cursed night
My thoughts and memories stir

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

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

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
Oh, I can feel her words sear
"Leave and never come back
Or I′ll cut you, ear to ear"

'Cause you can't see
That I am free
My life is mine, not yours
So leave me be

"Oh, 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?
