There, out in the darkness

A fugitive running

God be my witness

I never shall yield

Till we come face to face

Till we come face to face

He knows his way in the dark

Mine is the way of the Lord

Those who follow the path of the righteous

Shall have their reward

And if they fall

As Lucifer fell

the flame, the sword!

You know your place in the sky

You hold your course and your aim

And each in your season

Returns and returns

And is always the same

And if you fall as Lucifer fell

You fall in flame!

 

And so it must be

for so it is written

On the doorway to paradise

That those who falter and those who fall

Lord let me find him

That I may see him

Safe behind bars

I will never rest

Till then

till then 一直到那时, 到那时为止

 

This I swear

This I swear by the stars!
