|
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. |
|
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 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. |
|
Devils Island, Devils Island. |
|
Devils Island, Devils Island. |
|
Here I am. |
|
Devils Island, Devils Island. |
|
Devils Island, Devils Island. |
|
Devils Island, Devils Island. |
|
Devils Island, Devils Island. |
