The Last Journey

I am looking at you for the last time
And I know you can't stay
You are moving to a better place
So far away

Always silent, a world behind your eyes
A soul so deep I'm mystified
Memories strong, I'll never lose them
Music was your language

They can steal away your life forever
But they can't steal your dreams
A dark cloud's on my heaven
So far from me

Alone, without you near me
The sorrow's deep in my bones
Through the pain I know you're gone
But I will carry on

Time has come – and time is gone
Kingdom come – all alone
Time has come – the last journey
Your spirit lives on in tunes of steel

We shared a dream, a common goal
Something deep within our soul
A feeling cold, reach inside
A way to keep control

We rehearsed, then we grew together
From merely boys to full grown men
The loss of you will hurt forever
Sorrow is the only friend

Time has come – and time is gone
Kingdom come – all alone
Time has come – the last journey
You may be gone but the metal never dies - never, ever

You flew away with the angels
Soaring high into the night
Bringing thunder to the heavens
Metal to the sky

Spitting flame, spitting fire
Burning up the clouds
Make your spirit fly higher
No more shackles now

Time has come – and time is gone
Kingdom come – all alone
Time has come – the last journey
You may be gone but your spirit never dies
Time has come – and time is gone
Kingdom come – all alone
Time has come – the last journey
The last journey
The last journey
The last journey
