Devil's Island lyrics
Song information
Artist: Megadeth
Album: Peace Sells But Who's Buying
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
Chorus
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
