Devils Island

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
