About the Artist
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 remain with our hands Deeper gray, came to mourn All the colors of the dawn Will this journeyman's day be his last? I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away But the memory still remains All the 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 the journeyman's day has begun I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away 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 the journeyman's day has begun I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want I'll say what I want And no one can take it away
