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.
Here on Devil's Island,
The final stop for me.
Devil's Island.
Devil's Island.
Oh, there is no escape,
The sea is full of sharks.
Tide takes you away
And smashes you on the rocks.
The sun is shining,
But feel not today its 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 sermon
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,
And the lesson taught to me.
Stay away from evil,
She doesn't care for me.
She haunts me in my sleep,
Though I tore that page away.
Here on Devil's Island,
I'll always have to stay.
Devil's Island, here I am.
