Devils 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

And here on Devils Island, the final stop for me

Devil’s Island

Devil’s Island

Oh, there is no escape, the sea is full of sharks

The tide takes you away, and smashes you on the rocks

The sun is shining but feel not today

It’s warmth, it’s dying and fading away

Devil’s Island, here I stay

Devil’s 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 sermons, is walking next to me

To the stake, my last request, to have her burn with me

But, so it did, the heavens opened, rain began to fall

The final judgement came, and was spread before you all

Final judgement

Old, weak, and feeble, but the lesson taught to me

To stay away from evil, she doesn’t care for me

She haunts me in my sleep, though I tore that page away

And, here on Devil’s Island, I’ll always have to stay

Devil’s Island

Devil’s Island

Devil’s Island

Devil’s Island

Here I am

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island
