Journeyman (Electric Version) lyrics - Iron Maiden

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 forevermore

And the fragment remains of our memories

And the shadows we made with our hands

Deeper grey, came to mourn

All the colours 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 your 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

Spare your life and you choose the destruction of time over yourself

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 your journeyman's day has begun

Yeah!

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
