How long will this long night be
How long will this long night be
Cause I’m drifting blind on a dark and empty sea
How long will this long night be
How long till this heartache heels
How long till this heartache heels
Cause hurt and pain are the only thing that’s real
How long till this heartache heels
Yesterday was the beginning
And my world was full of light
I could have sworn I heard love singing
But it was sirens in the night
How far do I have to fall
How far do I have to fall
Till I go so deep that there’s nothing there at all
How far do I have to fall
How long do I have to wait
How long do I have to wait
Am I cursed to stand forever at the gate
How long do I have to wait
Yesterday was the beginning
And my world was full of light
I could have sworn I heard love singing
But it was sirens in the night
How long will this long night be
How long will this long night be
Cause I’m drifting blind on a dark and empty sea
How long will this long night be
