| 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.
|
| Devils Island, Devils 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.
|
| Chorus (Repeat)
|
| Devils Island, 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 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 Devils Island,
|
| I’ll always have to stay.
|
| Chorus (Repeat)
|
| Devils Island, Devils Island
|
| Here I am.
|
| Chorus (Repeat)
|
| Devils Island, Devils Island |
