Amon Amarth - A Dream That Cannot Be Lyrics






[Him:]
Years of wait are over now
She's almost in my grasp
Now I will fulfill my vow
She will be mine at last

[Her:]
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

[Him:]
Come with me
I'll set you free
And I'll show you
What your life could be

[Her:]
You can't see
That I am free
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be

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

[Her:]
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

[Him:]
Come with me
I'll set you free
And I'll show you
What your life could be

[Her:]
You can't see
That I am free
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be

[Him:]
She refuses to leave
So I grab her by force

[Her:]
I pull the knife I've concealed
I put the edge to his throat

[Him:]
Shocked by the attack
I can feel her final words sear

[Her:]
Leave and never come back
Or I'll cut you ear to ear

[Her:]
You can't see
That I am free
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be

[Both:]
I'll set you free

[Her:]
He said to me

[Both:]
And I'll show you
What your life could be
I am free

[Him:]
She said to me

[Both:]
My life is mine
Not yours, so leave me be!

[Her:]
Can't you see
Just leave me be
Can't you see
I am free

Amon Amarth A Dream That Cannot Be Comments
  1. a.... z....

    SUPER,WITH WOMAN..ITS INTRESTED..

  2. D.... ....

    Makes me think of a dude that's in love with a prostitute.

  3. d.... i....

    This song is kinda sad but it's good

  4. D.... S....

    Elena Rago 💙

  5. R.... C....

    Muy buena banda mi favorita amon amarth y compartiendo voces genial

  6. e.... ....

    By far the best song on Jomsviking.

  7. J.... H....

    What if...what if this song is the sequel of "First Kill" ?! :O

  8. D.... W....

    It seems the speach between Ragnar Lothbrok and Lagherta in 4th season of Vikings. When Bjorn decided to live alone for some years, killed a bear and other stuffs. Really good piece of TV Series and Metal Masterpiece.
    \m/,

  9. M.... ....

    Лучшая песня об отшивании - хотя бы не чувствуешь себя куколдом, да и черту проводит окончательную -> не хочется вспороть себе брюхо.

  10. V.... �....

    Stupid song. Terrible harpy vocals.

  11. z.... s....

    yes, the "friendzone" song, ie the song about a guy who cant take no for an answer and goes rapey, so the girl pulls a knife to defend herself. fuggin incels with their "i cant handle rejection" entitlement mentality.

  12. L.... v....

    Doros voice-character is perfect for the female part of this text <3

  13. J.... M....

    Much better than the song DORO did that Johan Hegg was on that came out recently. Johan’s vocals didn’t quite go with it.

  14. J.... M....

    This is badass!!!!!!!!!!! The 1st time I ever heard of DORO was when seeing a vid of Amon Amarth doing this song live with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. M.... S....

    the song is the total hammer, really crazy, i Love it

  16. �.... �....

    You know. I actually like this song. People who hate it most probably do not like less brutal genres of metal and that's all.

    �.... �....

    Probably people who have an issue with clean female vocals. Me personally I like it, just like I enjoy Dawn of Destiny songs with the clean vocals

  17. H.... R....

    Verry good 🤘🤘🤘

  18. t.... :....

    Yeah 1.111 likes
    Get we 2.222?

  19. L.... ....

    In the shadow he waits for me for The Thing that should not be

  20. M.... M....

    Thought Doro was 90s Geddy Lee here when I first heard this

  21. S.... ....

    As a german heavy metal guy i have to put both thumbs up! Johan and Doro! This is so fucking awesome!

  22. M.... A....

    i would tap that doro.

  23. J.... T....

    when i first heard this i thought doro was a weak voiced guy. love the song though

  24. V.... V....

    PSYCHOSOCIAL diye giresim geliyor, tutamıyorum

  25. L.... B....

    Muy bueno

  26. B.... ....

    заебись!

  27. W.... 1....

    Amon Amarth should do a song with Taylor Swift. Now before you blood eagle me, fucking JK

  28. A.... D....

    only I hear the motive of "Requiem for a Dream"?

  29. e.... ....

    What a great song. Doro was the perfect pick for the female part.

  30. D.... W....

    I love this song It describes what i am going through at this time.

  31. D.... ....

    Love the instrumental, lyrics not so much, still a good song

  32. L.... F....

    How to ask out a girl? "COME WITH ME! I'LL SET YOU FREE AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT YOUR LIFE COULD BE!!!!!!"

  33. D.... ....

    good song but sounds like physcosocial by Slipknot feat Amon Amarth and Micheal Jackson

  34. N.... C....

    This is one of my favorite sonhs. great vocals great music as is thousand burning arrows.

  35. S.... o....

    Friendzoned - Viking edition

    S.... o....

    Demonflesh spawn Babe I showed you my fucking Runes and you ignore me??!

    S.... o....

    🐿🐿🔥Doom_Over_Dead_Man🔥🐿🐿 Epic response, it’s the meme that should not be

    S.... o....

    @🐿🐿🔥Doom_Over_Dead_Man🔥🐿🐿 Fucking promiscuous wenches never showing me respect. I even wear a horn helmet because horn helmets are for men, and normal helmets are for boys.

  36. �.... �....

    What if they collaborated with Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy??!

    �.... �....

    EpicBilly then it would pretty much suck :)

    �.... �....

    EpicBilly no

    �.... �....

    Most amon amarth fans don't like arch enemy, its probably coz many feel they are overrated. But Alissa here, wouldn't contrast Johan's voice, it would be interesting to see which is more brutal(Johan mostly).... but probably not sound anything better than just Johan. Arch enemy singers are quite hard to discern from male vocals I'll give them that, except on certain songs. I am quite accepting of both though.

    �.... �....

    EpicBilly I'm a huge fan of both Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy. However, they both have their unique style that in my opinion differ very much. I don't think a collaboration between them would work out well.

  37. A.... P....

    No se puede odiar esta canción , la combinación de voces es magnifica

  38. K.... M....

    I haven't heard of this band b4 till now, nd I gotta say that It sounds so very good.

  39. H.... ....

    the only thing i dont like about this sing is the intro rifts. reminds me too much of psychosocial from spliknot for some reason.
    everything else is awesome

  40. t.... ....

    Sounds a lot like my former crush and me.

  41. V.... G....

    What a beautiful romantic duet,

    The fact that I can say that without being sarcastic is kinda magic XD

  42. C.... ....

    Perfect song to play for my special lady who only wants to be friends...

    C.... ....

    Are you serious or are you being fictitious?

    C.... ....

    James Russell Look at the lyrics and you will understand

  43. M.... K....

    THIS IS SUCH AMAZING SONG!!!!! I feel I could jump off the building and nothing would happen 2 me. (just analogy :) )))
    Thanks for uploading

  44. D.... ....

    I think I just found my new favorite song

  45. W.... y....

    This song is good but it would be better without Doro

    W.... y....

    Nope. On the contrary, it brings a nice contrast with the manly voice of Johan Hegg.

  46. R.... ....

    Such a good Duet.

  47. A.... D....

    Doro is a Godess.

    A.... D....

    hell yea she is.if you like her/female singers/bathory, check out quorthons sister. she sings great 2

    A.... D....

    Oh man! i didn't know that! thanks! :D
    Any special recommendations? :o

    A.... D....

    any song of hers is great. she covered song to hail up high, witch is my favorite

    A.... D....

    +religiousabuse I love Doro ... she was so great with Warlock back in late 80s and she kicks-ass with Amon Amarth ... I'll look up that band as you suggested ... cool, there is never enough hard metal female singers. Thx :) p.l.l.

    A.... D....

    She is the metal queen.

  48. T.... L....

    you know this song is very sad, cuz they viking passed by throught shadows and darkness for long years just to see her again, and now she doesn't give a fuck about him...too sad

    T.... L....

    Wolf Jets
    but no. most of the people didn't give a shit about the meaning of the song :D

    T.... L....

    Wolf Jets She cares well for him.
    She even prepared herself with the hidden knive.

    I guess they both had the same dream once and the male part of the story went on to find a solution to live the dream they had. While the female part adopted to her situation differently.
    She found freedom, but it differs from the original dream they both shared.

    To me this makes the song even sadder.

    Not giving a fuck is bad. But caring and losing is way worse.

  49. G.... M....

    Such a great duet by Johan and Doro

  50. J.... H....

    Doro is the Queen of the metal

    J.... H....

    Juha Heino no that's alissa whitgluz (arch enemy)

    J.... H....

    @Suliel was just about to come and say the same thing

  51. k.... k....

    i don't get why so many amon amarth fans hates this song, i am guessing it's because they don't like clean vocals, but to me this is awesome.

    k.... k....

    kanel kenny its do good i love this song

    k.... k....

    There is a very good explanation for why people don't like this song: this is mostly a heavy metal song with growling, not a melodic death metal song as most other Amon Amarth. I like it though. The intro/outro riff is amazing too.

    k.... k....

    kanel kenny This song is actually one of my favorites by them and Ive been rocking with AA for years.

    k.... k....

    I fucking love it, the mix of Anders and Doro´s singing is just plain awesome.

    k.... k....

    yeah it's weird. there's nothing bad about this song and it's pretty cool actually. I smell weakness

  52. K.... ....

    Come with mee

    K.... ....

    Engin Gürgez I set you freeeeeee

    K.... ....

    and i'll show yooouu

    K.... ....

    What ur lifeeee coulllddd beee

  53. R.... ....

    Very sorry , this is the only worst song I ever heard of Amon . Very Sad :(

    R.... ....

    religiousabuse yes maybe . you keep up with your assumptions and belief systems . to be Human low,high IQ does not matter but being inhuman and high IQ is killing the world today .

    R.... ....

    justify your opinion please so we can understand exacly how you came to such conclusion?

    R.... ....

    WHY? IS DORO ?

    R.... ....

    Listen to Embrace of the Endless Ocean

    R.... ....

    This is one of my top 10 songs of amon amarth

  54. s.... ....

    ☀🌙

  55. s.... ....

    Sverige
