Devil's Island (Megadeth)

Devil's Island--Megadeth

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 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.
The tide takes you 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 him burn with me.
But so it did, the heavens opened, rain began to fall.
The final judgment came, I was spared before you all.
Final judgment.

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
