Devil's Island Lyrics


The light that fills my lonely cell

Is blocked out by the key

That locks the door to this hell

The place they wanted me

Time's racing like the wind

Execution's near

Oh lord, I wait for death

And, yes, I have no fear

I recall that night, my every breath

And step along the way

Closed my eyes, walking

As danger paved the way

The devil, and the darkness

Let her evil wander free

Here on Devils Island

The final stop for me

Devils Island, Devils Island

Oh, there's no escape

The sea is full of sharks

Tide takes you away, and

Smash you on the rocks

The sun is shining

But feel not today

It's warmth, it's dying

And fading away

Devils Island, here I stay, Devils Island

Oh, hear the call

From the grave beyond

Oh, so pernicious

Her soul it creates song

As there is no man

That is here upon the earth

Able to terminate our

Noisome will since birth

The priest that reads the sermon

Is walking next to me

To the stake my last request

To have her burn with me

And so it did, the heavens opened

Rain began to fall

Final judgement came and

Was spread before you all

Final judgement

Old, weak, and feeble,

And the lesson taught to me

Stay away from evil,

She doesn't care for me

She haunts me in my sleep

Though I tore that page away

Here on Devils Island

I'll always have to stay

Devils Island, Devils Island

Here I am

Devils Island, Devils Island
