Black Angel Lyrics

    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
