Black Angel

The Cult · Love [1985]

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

With that 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
