It's a Long Night
Golem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like crazy we all run
Wild creatures in a farm
We crunch, we bark, we howl
Black clouds, a sneering moon

And now that you are here
In the world in which believe
Try to gain the highest place
Look your neighbour in his face

It's a long night
Never sleep, never close and eye
And you
It's a long night
Never move, stay, keep on silent

We try, every day
To save us all, to run away
The Black Farmer is always there
Waiting for the moment he will bring you to hell

And now that you are here
In the world in which believe
Run for cover, you're not over
If you are far from that kill

It's a long night
Never sleep, never close and eye
And you
It's a long night
Never move, stay, keep on silent

And when the moment comes
Think back to what is gone
The lack of love, your end is near
Look at the Farmer without fear

And now that you are here
In the world in which believe
Try to gain the highest place
Look your neighbour in his face

It's a long night
Never sleep, never close and eye
And you
It's a long night
Never move, stay, keep on silent

And when the moment comes
Think back to what is gone




The lack of love, your end is near
Look at the Farmer without fear
