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
