A Dream That Cannot Be

Lyrics

[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
