The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Emptiness, 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

Emptiness, 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
