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, (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.
[Chorus (repeat):]
Devils Island, Devils
Island.
(Devils Island, Devils Island.)
Here I am.
[Chorus (repeat 4 times):]
Devils Island, Devils Island.
