Journeyman Lyrics

I adore this song, a very surprising end to the Dance of Death album. Just as all the world was going mad for war in 2003, here along came a positive, warm song that helps to put your mind, body and spirit at peace with an air of quiet, solemn determination.

I first wondered if this had religious meaning. There are a few whispered vocals after the long instrumental section which are hard to make out, something about scripture? I'm neither a Christian nor mad, so I'm pretty sure I wasn't going out to these things!

Either way, it's wonderful. So much so that my wife and I had our First Dance to this song at our wedding in 2004.
