A fugitive has been away so long

A fugitive has been away so long

A thousand years and now he thinks of home

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

The long men are waiting in the wings

Emptiness his bitterness is gone

To put him in chains upon his return

Journey the road to the eternal reward

Emptyness, his bitterness is gone

It's a long way to go

Journey on to the eternal reward

A black angel at your side



A long way to go that angel at your side

It's a long way to go

A long way to go the reaper at your side

A black angel at your side

A long way to go

It's a long way to go

A black angel at your side

A black angel at your side

The sirens call a sailor to die



Enchanted by the sound his desires have been found

The sirens call a sailor to die

In his mind his life is rushing by

Enchanted by the sound, his desires have been found

All this while the storm it rages on

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
