A fugitive has been away so long A thousand years, and now he thinks of home The long men are waiting in the wings To put him in chains upon his return Emptyness, his bitterness is gone Journey on to the eternal reward It's a long way to go A black angel at your side It's a long way to go A black angel at your side The sirens call a sailor to die Enchanted by the sound, his desires have been found In his mind, his life is rushing by All this while, the storm it rages on He's turning old, he shall never return Sail on to the eternal reward It's a long way to go A black angel at your side It's a long way to go With that angel at your side It's a long way to go
With the reaper at your side It's a long way to go A black angel at your side The fugitive has been away so long A thousand years, and now he thinks of home The long men are waiting in the wings To put him in chains upon his return Emptyness, his bitterness is gone Journey on to the eternal reward Oh, no, never Oh, no, never Oh, no, no It's a long way to go A black angel at your side It's a long way to go With that angel at your side It's a long way to go With the reaper at your side It's a long way to go With that angel at your side At your side It's a long It's a long, long, long goodbye It's a long, long, long goodbye
